Since my trailing arms will be a bit special I got a set that wasn't welded. Here's some pics from when I put them together.
As mentioned before, these are for Volvo 740. And on 740 the bolt from the balljoint on the bottom of the strut is pointing down. E46 and 240 is the other way around.
But Txr has built Super Seven cars before and had an adaptor for opel balljoints that looks simular to the one from 240. So I had to fit these together with the control arms.
Both done with spherical bearings and balljoints.
And I found another set of Borbet's
Good thing about this set is that all are rears, so they're 10"
That means I have 6 10" wheels now. That should be enough for a while
I had to rebuild the connection between the body and The rear point of the control arms a bit to make it work.
Back on the car again.
This is what it looks like with the e46 spindle, steering adaptors from T-parts.
Back on the floor again.
Borrowed a friend wheels with the same measures as mine, but with the correct tires. Will be running 215/40.
The angle of the control arms turned out pretty good!
The adjustable strutmounts from Kaplhenke is on its place, but I have to do some machining to make it match to the BC coils. I'll get back to that when it's done!
Now you all have a happy new year!
