Proof of Concept

So I have been back in the lab.

Morris:

Are you planning on running slicks on your car? layful:

Really, I don't think you need it otherwise. For what it's worth, I've heard of people using the lever shock of an MGB as the upper member (but I've never seen one). Most of my racing pals just use the normal lever shock single arm (even if we add a gas-tube shock).

As you may recall, I use a small trailing arm on my upper links (you commented on that thread....which is now years old).

In case you've forgotten ~Here It Is~

MGB front shock:

Well, you know me, it was there so it had to be climbed.

As you know I have tube shocks up front (based on your design) so I wanted to dismantle my shocks to install grease zerks since they are no longer shocks per se and I am sick of jacking around with oil. I have a pile of dead shocks so I started messing around and one thing lead to another.

I am definitely getting some shifting around up there under braking so a little triangulation sure can't hurt. And it also has the potential of looking really cool which is always a plus.

Yes.....cool looks are a bonus! :eagerness:

The picture is a little small. What is going on there?

Cool, I bought a couple of MGB front shocks and I've been working on the same thing, but I'm not sure it's worth it. It's a lot of work for a little reward.
