Since my previous posts, I focused mainly on the drivetrain installation :
*Porsche G50 box install on the chassis , via 2 polyurethane bushings I made from Shore A 90 PU.
I understood that some ( Experimented...) builders use to bolt directly the engine and box on the chassis; for me, I was a little bit anxious of the :torsion, vibrations and similar, issues , and that is the reason why I used these reasonnably stiff bushings .
I plan to use the same stuff for the engine .
The final input shaft/cranck height is 160 mm from chassis bottom
*Lateral fork clutch drive via a specific shaft, similar ( I think..) to the older 930 box ; the hydraulic receiver is from BMW 3 series.
From the first manual tests I made , the clutch bearing is moving ....and the torque to be applied on the shaft is :8 kgm which should lead to approx 25 kg at the pedal.
I received this day all the plumbing/fittings from RallyDesign, and I plan to install soon the hydraulic line .
*Rear suspension , almost complete , excepted the shock absorbers.
But I still have to work on the uprights, for the bearings and hubs installation.
Can somebody give some advices on the suspension course : I planned on : + 3 inches compressed, and -1.5 inches extended; but it may have to be symetrical? Or other criteria ...Thanks for any inputs on the subject.
