| description | The original pivots design and wear meant my front wishbones were really loose and tended to 'flop' about a fair bit. I gave dimensions to a mate of mine (Rob at GB Models) who turned up a pair out of aluminium.. all it took was a bit of a polish and they fitted nicely in the wishbones.
Its taken me a while to pluck up courage to hack a bit more off my chassis, that was until a few glasses of Belgian courage tonight. Out came the hacksaw and off came the original pivots, a 3mm hole was then drilled through chassis and the aluminium pivots were screwed on. Refitted the wishbones and gone has most of the flop. Success I say.. so whats next on my list! Have tested this mod and its improved the car 100% or more, the steering and suspension work so much better. |

Looks cool and it looks like the second photo might have been snapped after said Belgian courage was drank.
Your right there Terry, theres a long list of bits from other cars (including part of a bumper from a King Blackfoot, makes a nice front shock tower)
Not much left of the Sand Rover now Rich. In the days when I raced one the trick at the time was to drill a hole through the arm and pivot, then use a bolt with a large washer to pull the arm in tight to the end of the pivot. With a locknut on the end of the bolt it could be tightened up just enough to provide a degree of damping to the front suspension as well.
very nice!! i think you may get a few requests for these!!!
