Fitting Rear Srb Shocks With Coil Over Conversion?

[rcracerpete]

Hello, i am fitting standard shocks with crp coilover kit and taking away the rear torsion bars, but how do i get a piece of brass tube to fit in thew front of the rear arms, as this is attached to the rear torsion bars?

Thanks for any help,

Pete.

I bolted mine to prevent them bending in a big crash.

I used an M4 bolt & some 6mm OD aluminium tube as a bush with a couple of washers as shims & a nyloc nut to stop it all escaping.

Have a close look at the pics of my Ranger.

I can post some better closeups tonight if you want a better look.

I used an old screwdriver (nice and hard chrome vanadium and perfect diameter 6mm)

Cut down to 18mm lengths

A simple fix but works a treat and you can make loads out of just one old tool ;-)

easiest fix is to just bend the torsion bar and pull it out of the brass piece. RCH made a vintage hop up that replaces that piece. I used them on my aftermarket buggy http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...40879&id=34

Gotta be careful mixing brass & alloy, they have a tendency to bind together & seize up .
