Hello everyone,
The rear suspension and the rear brakes are fitted;
I had a few issues fitting the rear suspension, one of the issue I had is that I couldn’t get the Kafer bars to line up. On one of my earlier posts I showed the issue, I had the 2 brackets that fit to the frame horns bent a little bit more, which solved most of the problem. I then replaced the fitments of the top bar with heim joints, which totally solved the problem:
The next problem I had was that the disc brake brackets for the rear calipers didn’t fit the rear Coolrydes suspension:
I spoke with Pete at Airkewld, he informed me that people generally don’t mix and match Airkewld and Coolrydes products. Typical, more custom fitting was required, I decided to reshape the sides of the brackets to fit, this took a bit of time with multiple measurements and fitting. I finally got them both to fit, then I powder coated them:
I fitted new bearings and seals, sandblasted the old axles and powder coated the end sections.
