That worked.
Just need to redo the rear end again as it won't go quite low enough.

Hopefully this new design should work

Really not happy with how this has been going so had a few months away from it.
Had a rethink and going to raise the chassis another 100mm to get the wheel back.

She's all clamped to the jig now so I can cut the front and rear out and make what I want. Hopefully get cracking tomorrow chopping out

This is what I've come up with for the front. Raising a 50mm raised beam another 100mm and also will have the tie rod notches accounted for in it at the same time

Phew - some serious fabrication work going on here.
Good luck and hope it ends up as you want it!

Quite a bit of progress recently.
Rear notches have been redone with hydro mount on.

Also chopped the entire front out to make way for a monster beam raise.

Next we put the chassis back in higher temporary to see how well thy hydraulics now worked

Very happy with where the wheel now sits and how easily it went up and down.
Next was to design a new chassis.

It's all ready to be tigged up and installed this week hopefully.
Also had a play with the rear tubs

Getting very close with being happy with these

Can I ask where you got your rose joint spring plates from?

Been looking and I didnt even think of rayvern... thanks

Come to the conclusion that there is no nice way of getting round the fuel filler and tubs so going to have to move it

Strong work here mate , Like the Mk2 Escort in the workshop too

 

[985add]

That's that out the way now.

Also made up some caps for where my hydro mount has gone into the fuel tank area
