Really?? It was really a joke?? I didn't understand it!!

Tu as mis les soupapes à l'envers!

I had a little of time to install the lower reinforce arms...
I did buy the arms from Ed, but without his blue bushing, because i didnt like that kind of installation...
I used a custom hardner handmade polybushes with some other little differences.









I still do not have tried it... maybe this weekend and then let it know to you.
Seeing now the front of the car with vented brakes and a bit more complex suspensions is nice it begins to seems a real car ahah...

[Cortex]

Looks nice !

Nice! What kind of bushings did you used?

Did you noticed that the reinforcement is not supposed to move from the suspension arm, so bushing on this side is questionnable?

By the way this vented disk is simply cute

[Florent]

As usual

yes you are right, on the shocks mounts it is not supposed to move. In fact now, like I sent you by pm, I have to try this kind of bushing i made, and then maybe go with a very hard Teflon custom bushing at least on that side.

si! il faut que ca bouge, car le bras ne pourrait plus reculer devant l'arc de la barre stabilisatrice.
ouais je sais je ne connais pas les termes exacts mais vous comprendrez le truc

[ylric]

C'est très juste. J'ai d'ailleurs remarqué que sur les designs de suspension très rigides à double triangle la barre anti-roulis n'est pas fixée directement au bras inférieur, mais par une biellette verticale rotulée.

De cette façon la barre anti roulis n'impose plus de recul au bras.

[cineman]

yeah yeah i know that the antiroll bar has to move the arms front and back... BUT we also know that lotus did made this:



on their Esprit. And it did work. A direct reinforcment much more stiff and still an ARB working the same way... Take a look closely. Much less movement of us on the arm...

So, has anyone calculated infact HOW much it has to move front and back our arm, with the radius of the ARB ?
( i make a suggest, it is far LESS than the actual arm movement during a braking lol )

[Stainless]

thanks for this

[cineman]

thanks for this

no problem...do you like it ?

I guess we have homework to do

[cineman]

In fact, being honest, surely the Esprit suspension is a bit more thinked
The Antiroll bar stays more near the fulcrum point of the arm, so it should be a smaller arc than ours, on the extreme, during the suspension work.

In the end the only way is to think about the best and test
