That is the rear suspension using a shop protractor I get 3 degrees plus what ever the cam on C5 lower has if that is how it works ???? Getting the front suspension this week. Thanks for the shim advice.

Hi Eddy, added shims to change caster. Used two ball bearings hung from thread and super glued to the top ballpoint to find center. I think this give some adjustment ?

Thanks for the sharing this information I will get C204 and 8" spring 400 lbs and the C210

I am building a GT 40 what is the part number for the Viking shock looking at these shocks THANKS!!!

Fantastic advice from you guys i will start at 5 degrees and figure out the thickness of the washers,Thank you!

Cutting the compound angles then Jig it up before tack weld. 123 Block are precision ground and are cheap to buy. Milling the compound angle (upside down photo??) Then Jig it up with 123 Blocks and check all dims square, parallel, level. a little tapping nudging here and there get it perfect...

Follow up assuming upper and lower are at the even point, how much rearward should it be, say 3 washers at .100 each would allow .300 to the rear. Or different combations .200 .300?? What would you suggest Thanks so much

And thanks for the drawing. I will make several thicknesses spacers on the lathe

Thanks for the spacer idea, this forum is great.

Thanks for that, On the C5 suspension would you know toe and camber. The upper ball joint seems to have adjustment for camber. If I adjusted them in a position and tack welded the mount brackets, then had enough adjustment to get proper camber before final weld. The body should arrive in a few...

Mock up of suspension, do i have it backwards ? I need to make sure the compound angles are correct before welding.

Mastercam is great to mock up the whole thing, maybe you can cut the square cuts on the mill and send the angle out for Laser or CNC mill

Working on chassis considering suspension with adjustable compression rebound damping shocks, modifying them to get a light coil maybe 350 lbs then using nitrogen for final ride. I got 20 bodies ready to be machined into shorter lengths.

I did a test order with GT-FOURTY a dash $160.00 just to see if I get it, its been 3 weeks and nothing yet. Was able to order the body here in the US its getting made now.

I almost bought a flat pack, then I read the reviews. Anyway I did a test buy on a small dollar item, let's see if he ships it.

I may have clicked the wrong link

More progress, my EL Cheapo wire welder. $200.00 harbor freight works great for tack welds.

Started the frame today cutting the pcs on the CNC really makes it go quickly

I almost ordered the flat pack but heard not so good reviews. So I did a test buy of a low dollar part to see if I get it. If I do not get it then I will know.
