TOPIC:

The U-bracket for the top is in the elaborate screw bag A from the Rising Fighter so that's not very interesting :




But I think you'll also be needing some of the screws...

BA15, BA17, BA20 and BA21 are unavoidable parts. Never underestimate a modification.
I hadn't gotten to the proper tie rods on my own Grasshopper...
The other items needed (screws) are quite generic.

why would i need BA21, thats a steering arm ?

Yeah, the longer suspension arms also require longer steering arms...
But I think the U-bracket from the GH suspension arms can be recycled to fit the top.


So it's just the rods and the screw pin you need in addition.
Have to double check if I'm not missing anything...

can you post me a new brain cell while you are at it, mine is getting a bit knackered

hang on a minute, that pic shows the standard hopper suspension arm, with the u bracket

Yes and you don't need them on the Rising Fighter arms.

I've sorted out what Louisbaby sent me. Of use for you I think will be a set of (complete) yellow CVAs, extra oil seals for the shocks I mailed earlier and a bunch of different springs.
The shocks have a vintage lower connection. This is one piece so you don't need the discs that go on top.
I'll also send you a couple of silver damper housings. Don't know what you could do with them exactly but they look cool.

What's missing (in total) though is a matching set of lower connection discs for the CVAs you already have.
To go on top of the special metal connectors you got earlier and to support the spring...
I only have 1 small and 1 larger one.
Don't really like to break up the Hummer sprue for them. I'd be left with a non-matching other half...
There are some (partially incomplete) Blackfoot shocks (I think) but they will be too long for your purpose.
And a pair of Frog dampers which will be too short. And I kind of like 'em...

So all that's missing for two complete pairs of oil filled dampers would be one matching discmountiewhatsemethingy.

haha what ever i get will be a bonus and im sure i can cobble something together out of th e thingamyoojywhatits you have added. thankyou

Are you going to order the Rising Fighter arms?
I added a UK seller that had them for 3 pounds a little earlier in the thread...
Located the separate 3x22mm screw pins on eBay also btw.
With a little more modding - and some 2 or 3mm rod end - you could even create some steering arms yourself.
And eliminate the slack that's in the normal steering setup.
