Hurricane build - 2015 IRS w/pin drive

Tried to mount the shocks upside down on my GenI and it can't be done. Was able to do it on this version. Minor decrease in unsprung wheel weight.(every little bit helps)

The longer handle isn't in production (yet). It's a mod that I did

I believe any minor gains you get from reducing unsprung weight will be more that offset by the absolute PITA it will be to reach the adjustment knobs and also adjust those spring collars once you have bodywork and a large rear tire in your way. Looks easy now.

Oh, I thought they had switched to the longer handle a while ago! I remember sending photos to the Lees Summit guys when I put mine in. I think it looks so much better and you have more leverage to set the brake as well.
Thanks for the info!

Wish I had known about the long handle when I was building mine ... too late now

Never too late Bob! Could you make a new bracket for the long handle that bolts on the existing bracket? Then switch handles.

It's been a minute, finish the build yet? If so do you have more pics along the way? I am specifically curious about the fiberglass pans vs riveted sheet metal other brands use.

[PaulProe]

Sorry guys, been lax in posting pictures. Car is finished and on the road. Additional pictures and commentary is on my website 65SHLB

Posting a few here.

And some pics on the sheetmetal tunnel. It's not an 'easy on / easy off' type setup but if I ever need to pull the drivetrain, I now have access.

I am working on adding more details to my build site.
