Dislocation cones, front and rear

[Leigh]

Anyone close to the Kettering area that has front and rear cones? Preferably not fitted so I can draw up and measure.

Trying to cut costs so want to make my own  

Cheers,

Leigh

you don't need front ones, since they likelyhood of dislocating it is rather slim.

As for rear ones get some exhaust clamps and bolt the springs onto the mounts... essentially the same effect but costs around £5

[Leigh]

Are they strong enough and wont that limit the articulation by bolting them in place?

Bulli is thinking about selling his rears...... it might be worth contact him  

[Leigh]

Cheers Tim I'll pm him

Why did you have to go and ask that question ?   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :shock:

Anyway, if you clamp the top of your springs in place, it's worth considering heavy duty lower spring retainers too, again around a £5. It all depends on how you treat your motor when off-road.

Jubilee clips

I made my own set.........

How does a jubilee clip work? If a retainer plate is used to secure the spring at the top, how does the jubilee clip attach and stop the spring and does it stop it from dislocating altogether? Anyone with pictures??  :lol:

That cone looks good, how high is the actual cone?

That cone looks good, how high is the actual cone

105mm

have the retainer plate on the bottom & the jubilee clip on the top,stops the spring dislocating & just stretches it when on articulation,to have cones doesnt make any diference to normall  playing/offroading

Until you go past the point of the retainer plates strength.........and then it wont go back in on its own.........i should know........thats why i made the cones.

Does that mean you have 2 spare sets? For sale perhaps??

I thought the retainer plate goes on the bottom? This is all new ground for me so any info/advice will be helpful

The retainer plate on this set up goes on the top and clamps the spring to the chassis and the spring then floats when you get full articulation.........and PM me for details.

if you have the correct spring ratings its not a problem ;)

EB4#s setup is reverse dislocatio cones IE tops clamped & bottom floats,normal dislocation cones are fitted at the top & spring is clamped as the bottom
