Good work Mycha. How is the air system working out on the back? All as expected?
My shocks have landed and waiting to clear customs

Test testing the airshocks 8)


Greetings from Holland

Hit the button it's a videoclip 8)
max. 7 - 7,5cm on 200psi, at the rear, so very happy
No test drive yet, the swimsattel breakes were to big with the air-shocks so i've bought the smaller Carrera II ones.
Hoping to go for a spin end of this week.

Stance at the moment (rear), 43cm with no air (resting on bumpstop) with around 100/120psi it's on 46/47 cm and that was my old driving hight stance :msn4: (no westfalia interior at the moment).

Working to get here ready for EBI5

Sweet. I suspected it was but was reading it on my non flash iPhone and the vid didn't work (sort it out apple!)

Seems to go up and down without any problems at all 8) You have adjustable springplates right? Are they locked or unlocked in the vid?

Can't wait to get my hands on my shocks now

Mycha those switches look great.
What size hose fittings did you use to convert to the larger hose?

Cheers Darius

Hey Darius,

I used:

- 10mm outer hose from tank to valves;
- 8mm outer hose from valves to shocks;
- 4mm outer hose from valve to gauge;

for the shocks we made a special fitting to go from the American thread to 1/4 - 8mm

Shock fittings under left on photo.

Greetings Mycha

 

[radish]

It is the odd size thread on the shock that is the problem. I have boxes of 1/4 & 1/8 fittings for 4mm, 6mm and 10mm hose. I have to look at making an adaptor.
