I have added some new pics to my gallery showing what I achieved in a few short hours today.
I have modified the B&M shifter to fit the T56 and it works perfectly
when I get the body on I will work out how much I want to shorten the shifter.
The rear springs and shockies are all fitted after I made the lower mounts, I made the mounts so that the mounting point for the shockie is further inboard than as shown in the build manual.
I did this as Aussie Mike advises it is needed to fit larger wheels.
I still couldnt get the front spring/shockies in.
The front upper control arm contacts the spring way before the arm is anywhere near where it needs to be, there is alot of clearance at the rear arm.
Does anyone know (before I try) if the L/H side and R/H side arms are different? could I have fitted them wrong?
Also I didnt think to measure before I left the car at work, is the upper control arm inner mounting stub different for L/H side versus R/H side?
Because I was just thinking if I have fitted it wrong then that might move the whole assy forward approx 1/2 inch then I will have clearance at both arms.
I dont want to re-drill the holes as this will change the caster set into the front end.
Any way have a look and tell me what you think, I am happy
