Hedrock's 'vert project...

Post by **Hedrock** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 6:07 pm

Here are a couple of pics of the latest changes. I'll post more when I get the upper shock mounts finished and the supports in.

Oh and by the way ... the zip tie on the upper shock mount will be changed to a GRADE 8 on final assy.

Happy now Leather

Nice to see this back on the to-do list. And before Bajaherbie pipes up, I call Shotgun! Can't wait to see what is next.

Yes, a grade 8 zip tie would be a must.

Seriously though, it's looking great. Not to many full-tilt bajas in your neck of the woods I imagine.

Here are a couple of updated pics of the upper shock mounts. I'm not finished yet but you get the idea. I've got more work done in the last week than the last 2 months (and the burns and blisters to prove it), I love it

Those are fully adjustable for more travel.

The zip ties I'm not worrid about... It's the pony clamps on the skidplate that I think I'll have to work on

I like when you step back and everything "looks" like it belongs where it does... your build definately has that quality, awesome job.

BTW, I think the pony clamps and zip ties will be fine, mine is put together with bubble gum and scotch tape and seems to be holding.

Thanks DG. That is a great compliment

I won't worry so much about the zip ties and pony clamps now. Let me know how the bubble gum and scotch tape hold up in Baja
