ok,ok I know all about matey's little swimming trip - it was local.
I'm a qualified mechanic and time served welder/fabricator, I'm happy it's safe. If you guys don't like it, fair enough.

Thought you might be redhand, knowing what it's like on ere
the reasoning being; ****part's dropper plates are about 6mm, box on mine totals
12mm so it's just down to the welds, which I know what I'm doing- they could be tidyer
but I was trying to be quick so as not to burn the **** outta everything, didn't really work mind. 150 amps on 3mm doesn't just stick it there, it becomes part of it! We'll see how it goes anyway, the idea is to put proper dampers on when I can afford to.
Would you say that 40mm will need dislocation cones? I've got away with it sofar but might need them now. And why are they usually at the bottom of the spring? Seeing as the springs are bolted down at the bottom normally.

Lol, I thought they'd blown things out of proportion at the time (i.e. nothing unusual about changing alsorts of bits and pieces) I thought something had snapped at the wrong time and he'd become a scape goat to a certain extent - I didn't know a lot of what's been mentioned.
Just had a look at me front dampers, I don't think there's anything I can alter at the bottom, even a raised mounting would need to be about 3-4" higher to allow space for the bushes and threaded part. I could do with 4 great big u-bolts to make lower turrets out of - like the tubular ones but they're pretty expensive, would almost be cheaper to buy tubular turrets (like tomcat make).
Will I need cones at the back now I've got 40mm more drop?

Think it's unlikely but it's a suck it and see, unfortunately.

Agreed paul,
MORE PICCIES!
Looking at the spring, I think it'll stay put - looks like it'll drop a little bit more but not much. How big a difference would doing similar to the front make? in half a mind to leave it alone.
