Garth:
We use "High tourqx" jubalee clips at work for air supplies.  They are about 1/2" to 3/4" wide and made out of high grade stainless.

Devon-Rover:
BTW checking the Green book It says use a jubilie clip or other sultible item, so it isn't regulated to that one item.

relocation cones  :lol:

--- Quote from: "Devon-Rover" ---Yes as above the the ALRC have a no cones rule. But then you must look on the side of the committie and think that it is giving an unfair advantage.

We at C&D mainly use jublie clips. Note plural as one is liable to break so maybe two / three is a good optimum. Some use exhaust clamps to hold their springs in but i have even known these to break. I have known a srpring retainer on the bottom of an axle bend so allowing a spring to pop out, but never have i know a case where it has taken the mount off the axle, there must have been a weakned point so to case such a falier.

Well, I really can't see how dislocation (or relocation) cones are an "unfair advantage"?  :roll:  They won't give me anymore travel, simply safer operation.
As you say, jubilee clips break, even exhaust clamps fail so this must show the forces involved. Whilst my rear axle looks as though it has lived in the sea for a couple of years, it's no more rusty than many I've seen and to my knowledge we've had two sets of lower mounts come adrift, so this can't be an isolated problem.

Thanks to all who sugested talking to  Dave at QT, I will definately do that.

I'll also speak to Gwyn Lewis.

Max Traction? Expensive!! ALRC trials should be at the cheaper end of motorsport and I think they quote a lot of money for thier system. MIght be worth trying to copy it?

DR Mike - you could be right!  :wink:

Redlinemike - spot on!!

I'll pursue the Disco 2 line which still uses Rover parts. Till then I'll count rivets!

Thanks all.

Jeremy.

rollazuki:
How about relocation shroud? A metal shroud around the outside of the spring would do the same thin, AND hide the spring top so it would be hard to spot if it was fastened on or not.
