Front shock turrets

<< < (2/5) > >>

V8MoneyPit:
Here's a pic showing the foul.

Are there differences between inner wings or are they all the same in respect to this area?

If I fit the front panel, I have to heave the top of the wings outwards. This increases the interferance with the turrets. I'm then just distorting the inner wings. I must be missing something obvious, but I'll be damned if I can see it!

boss:
i know its a little diffenent but i had to trim the ar hes on my disco when i fitted the -1" mounts, still have them infact if you want to fit twin dampers or move the damper outside the spring ;)

V8MoneyPit:
Thanks for the offer mate, but I think I'm going to modify the turrets to clear the inner wing. I've just been playing and fitted the wings without the turrets and they all line up perfectly..... well, as perfectly as you can expect from a Land Rover :lol:

Offering up the O/S turret it fouls by about 1/2"  :shock: I can narrow the tube a little and maybe rotate them and redrill the spring tower to get enough clearance. Or I'll have to modify the inner wing which is an odd shape to replicate.

Anyway, I've enough for this evening. I'm going home! I'll have another think tomorrow when my brain stops aching  :D

Axetamer:
Have you tried turning them through 90 degrees?

I've Gwyn Lewis challenge turrets on mine and +5.5 shocks, they come throught the hole quite a way but with no fouling, and are angled inwards slightly to help prevent the shocks fouling on articulation:

Another thought ...There not handed are they?, the ones on mine are
