 |
 |
| MkII non-powered rack. Cup II 17" wheels. |
| Karmann Ghia spindles with Ford Galaxy tie rod ends. Ended up using Galaxy in upper position, stock lower Type I in lower position. |
| The Design |
 |
| QA1 Double Adjustable Coilovers |
| Some basic measurements |
| After all the measurements were taken, the design was drawn up in a CAD program by Bob Frost-Stevens at Rorty Design. From that design, I printed out the plates at Kinkos to full size and glued them to MDF. |
| Tacked up by Walt at Walt's Custom Services. He did a great job! |

| Here's the final(for now) product. There is no attachment currently from the frame head to the front of the body up front. |
| Under the gas tank. STill need to finish the steering shaft linkage and get the tie rod assemblies shortened. |
| Full droop. I'm really happy with the amount of travel that is here, though I might have loose springs at full droop. |
| Full bump w/o bump stops. With bump stops full bump allows for full turning. I'll probably rub just a little on a hard, sharp corner. The final tuning will take plenty of time, but for now I'm thrilled with how it all works. |
