Paul Hill Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi Guys I am learning all the time with my car, but as I am no mechanic could the knowledgeable chaps on here could explain something in the picture below. Of all the pictures of chassis I have seen there is no all thread bar in the springs up to the turrets, is this a strength upgrade thing. I can see the Diff pins are upgraded which is reassuring to know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spit_2.5PI Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Paul, I should think it's just to hold the springs at a sensible length while the body is off - as what's left is so much lighter! Cheers, Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Richard Thanks Richard that explains it. I did wonder how the body would go on with those sticking through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TriumphV8 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I can see there is some work on the rear diff mounts already done. As the frame is bare I would inspect the front mount carefully and reinforce them. Normally the front fails first and much has been written about giving them some extra strength. Easily done now and a pain when the chassis is on the frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hill Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 The car was finished two years ago not by me, I was just looking through the rebuild pictures. The front diff mounts were boxed in as part of the Chassis strengthening Quote Link to post Share on other sites
