    • hey what length and weight are those springs? i went with 7 but i think its to short. my top hat on the spring is pretty loose aroun the top i was going to use some kind of bushing to center the strut shaft better, did you have any issue with that? do you have any pics with the mounts off?
      btw did you have any luck with those origns? they keep binding and wouldnt sit straight between the strut a collar
      thanks
      Rick

      • 250lb 7in springs. The top hats that came with the sleeves were plastic. So I ordered a set.of aluminum ones. The hole was too small so I drilled them out to fit. Ill try to take more pics when I pull them out again. Origns? You mean the orings that center the sleeve? No didn't have a problem with them. As long as the sleeves not moving around I think its fine.

            • The reluctor ring is welded on. It's not pretty but hopefully it won't come off. Would go mount the sensor tonight but roommate says were cleaning house tonight.

                          • Ya that is looking pretty good

                            Any idea of a timeline when this thing might move under its own power?

                            If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
