ARC FREAKS
tiltboy:
Now then.
Anyone got any bright ideas on how to sneak round the stupid no dislocation cones rule in ALRC trials? :?
My 90 on 2" lift and procomp ES9000's dislocates all the while. ALRC regs say no cones. They do however suggest using jubilee clips on the top of the coil springs to prevent this happening. Now it's obvious that for health and safety reasons this is a bad idea. Jubilee clips are not tested for use on suspension parts and thier use in this way puts strain on the lower coil mounts, in some cases ripping them off the axle (i.e. my case! :evil: ).
Anyone got any views?
OR AM I JUST REALLY SAD!? :roll:
Xtremeteam:
hmmm
i think ull find that ARC rules alow relocation cones as loads o guys up here run them & we have the arseyest scrutineer, (failed mine for being wrong colour of blue :roll: )
i run jubilee clips cos im tight & dont belive in throwing cash at stuff i dont need
tiltboy:
NOPE, DEFINATELY NOT.
Checked it with ALRC scrutineering comittee, Nicht cones!!
Had a scrutineer once tell me that running with my soft top rolled up contravened ARC regs! Got my year book out, corrected him, then he failed my hand brake! Fair cop! (I did point out his dubious parentage!)
Thinking of using Disco 2 coil lower retainers (small lip on them - spring on disco 2 is not fixed on lower mounts) and running a dummy shock through the coil to aid relocation.
But it's such a cock around just to solve a problem that is already solved by lots of companies with little effort!
Xtremeteam:
fit them,paint them black & then question his parentage :lol:
tiltboy:
:lol:
Already fitted them as a "safety feature", turned up to an RTVT and was told that I could run but score no points due to the cones! Parentage and sexuality were then questioned!!
Our secretary is also the ALRC secretary and therefore we can't fart without the smell conforming to yearbook regs!
