Post Sierra rear suspension pics

I'm up all night sorting these out just for you Kevin!! Better late than never as my moto seems to be...
Hope they shed some light on the feasibility of adjusting the chassis from Cortina to Granada.

I'll put them up in two lots and hopefully you'll be able to see some detail. Only have phone camera and it doesn't like the dark much.

If there's any particular detail you need let me know and I'll try and get it.
Will be away for a few days though.
Cheers
Declan

Oh yeah, If anyone notices any horrendous issues with anything in these pics now would be the time to point and laugh

I'm assuming the record for consecutive self posts isn't worth chasing?! B)

Hi Dec
Absolutely spot on. I was not going to use the round beam, but it looks as tho it fits in well.
Thanks for the time taken to post pics, i am clear in my next vision now .
Is that the longest piece of exhaust flexi used in a viper yet?
When are you hoping to see light at the end of the tunnel?
Cheers
Kevin

Hi Deck

The upper part of the rear frame is slightly different on ours however that has shown what needs to be done and appears achieveable.

One small comment on the flexys. Turn the clamps up t'other way. That way the nuts won't get ground off and if you run over someone it doesn't scratch their eyes out!!!

Cheers

Cheers for the comments guys!
As for the flexi's...they're really only temporary as when I drop the ride hight down using the lowering kit springs the clamps actually rest on the ground!!
I'm hoping that I can get one made where the pipes are almost in the tunnel...

I've been telling people next April for a completion date for some reason, but I'm not including a finished paint job in that just a prime, and with a miricle, an SVA. Of course that requires a slightly higher work rate than the last 4 years!

If you need any dimensions or anything closer to the time let me know.
Cheers
Dec
