Front Coil overs

[speedy]

on my front end i used the original torsion leaves on the top and on the bottom arms i made some steel covers instead of the pressed tin ones on the torsion arms and ran a 14mm rod screwed on the ends between the two sides with nylock nuts .I felt happier doing it this way because all the weight of the front end of the car is still distributed between top and bottom arms as opposed to just the bottom arms on a red 9 kit . The big plus for me was i already had the coilovers so it cost me the price of a lenght of screwed bar,i custom made my steel covers but some large washers would work just as well
hope this is of some use
cheers jon
