Whealey FC long roof

[FireKraka]

Hey Whealey
Mate my arms are not spaced out, there are I think 3 different arms which I know have been discussed here before do a search mate and you will see some photos; from memory the discussion was about the effect of the different arms on steering and I think that was why I stayed with the HR ones (it was a while ago  ;D)

Somebody on here should have a set of standard HR springs; I have not had any problem with the standard spring and have not found them too soft probably would have made the front end too stiff if I had of used beefed up springs.

Be careful with the tyre calculators mate I used one when I went looking for tyres for the new mags I bought for the sedan, before I got it registered ,and it said I could use 50 profile but when the engineer and I were doing the final checks before he did his last inspection he told me that I had to have a minimum of 60 profile to stay within the guide lines, this is WA I'm talking about maybe different with you side of things.

Always pays to double check or you may end up with a brand new set of 50 profile tyres sitting in you shed  :o ::) :-[

Thought I would show you a photo mate
15 x 7 x 60, CRS drop spindles, standard HR springs, guards slightly rolled with a guard roller I bought from ebay, 100mm under the HR cross member which is the lowest point on my car
60 profile tyres just touch on full lock if I had 50 profile no problem

Hey Wheatley, don’t know how you are going with the diff mods? but I have a shortened 9” diff with commodore bearing ends fitted with a new set of billet multi fit axels if you are interested.

That’s about the perfect stance by the looks. Fills up guard and only rubs on extreme travel. With the stock height HR springs you’ve got plenty of travel though.

My EK 215 had stock HR front for a long time. When I lowered it I tried stiffer shorter springs but ride was harsh. Went to lowered HR springs in the end. It flung the big block 202 around well with gas shocks and 25mm front bar. I’ve stuck with the stock HR disc setup old school lazy that’s me.

Thanks to FCwrangler I now have a 9" in the making. Obviously the car has to have more power now to justify the big diff LOL.
Thinking Turbo 202.....

Am now living in Perth and have lots of time by myself to work on the car.

Should be pumping along and plan to finish to drive it back home to NSW in 2020

Went to do photos but having size issues
Will try again later.

Anyone near rockingham have a pipe bender, flair and cutter I could borrow to do the brakes.

Cheers

Glad to see it went to a good home, looks right at home under there, any issues or did it bolt straight in.

You’ll need plenty boost to justify that hardware 😈😈

First up, welcome to Rockingham, Luke.  Unfortunately I don't have any brake gear, but if you need a hand with stuff at anytime, give me a call - I'm not real clever but can lift heavy things and can hold a spanner.

Be keen to catch up and see your project. I'm doing a wagon as well, though it's on the back burner at the moment due to other priorities.

Cheers,

John

Hope those straps hold under acceleration!!  ;D

They look like they’re made of Kevlar - she’ll be right 😄

Hey Whealey

Have to weld saddles on. They line up but won't bolt on. I assume it was set up for lowering blocks. It is in the diff shop now

Thanks for the offers guys

Will be running 3/16 and 1/4 brake lines

Keen to catch up with the locals on any weekend for a coffee. Just PM me.

I am sure the straps will be fine until I upgrade the engine. They are pretty strong
