Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
As promised.
I took a little break from sheet metal and knocked out a couple items that had been buggin me (read ADD kicked in ...again). During mock up I had noticed that the Spohn Del-Shperes were limited in travel by one of the tapered bushings. I'm using two on each but a design element causes one side to hit before the other (see pics). Bushing at travel limit: ![]() Other side has a ~1/8" left: ![]() ![]() Solution (poor man's lathe) ![]() ![]() ![]() Result: ![]() ![]() This may not look like much here but I gained 1/2" of travel at the other end of the arms. ![]() |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
now only if that lathe panned out a few weeks back.....
looks like you gained a TON of articulation there though. also looks like the subframe is just about ready for powdercoating? ![]() awesome work as usual. i can understand the whole ADD thing. small things drive me nuts too.
