johnny t Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) thats it nuthing. making sum progress on getting it mod plated tho ive got the wheels susses out (track width) ect .. ive used 185/55/15 on the front with ford au offset rims but have to use 5-8mm spacers because the tire hits on the strut. spacers are allowed to use only if they are glued onto the hub with sikaflex or sumthing of that nature so it can't move around on the studs. but if anyone was gonna do it id check with ur engineer first. and on the bak i have use 195/50/15 with ford au offset and there fine no spaces needed. so now all i need to do is get it bak from the panel beaters and then put the engine in wire it up get the ride hights and take it to get mod plated! but untill i get it bak from the panel beaters I'm stuck with things to do :P but will post more when things happen :P Edited February 15, 2009 by johnny t Quote
cuzzo Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Where did you get info about the wheel spacers mate? Â Its pretty unsafe running slip-on spacers even if glued with anything. Â Get wheels that fit and do it right. Quote
johnny t Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 hey i got it off an engineer he said he would pass it.(not complaining) there really only to get it mod plated then I'm gonna get some rims to fit it without spaces :bash:. ive tried heaps of rims nuthing comes close like the ones i have.so spaces are my last option and if he will pass it I'm happy with doin it i know its not properly done but they wont be on there long.. johnnyt Quote

SLO-030 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 I'm not sure if it mentions it in the caltrac link but the size of the front triangle mount should have the part that hits the leafs positioned about halfway between the front eye and the start of the second leaf. Quote
johnny t Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 ill keep that in mind thanks! johnnyt Quote
StasIII Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 EL falcon rims have a 4 inch back space . Au falcon rims have a 5 inch backspace. So grab yourself a EL rim and try it out. i bet they fit. Quote
