Random Pics of Front Suspension
 
Was under the car checking things and took a couple of pics that show the front suspension on the Kirkham pretty well. No weight on the car here so the geometry looks a little unusual vs how it would be on the road. The parts are amazing

Certainly beautiful, but you need to get that thing out on the road, get some road rash, grease and gunk on it.

I had just wiped it down when I took those shots today. I have had it 8 months now and have 2100 miles on it and when I went over it today I was surprised how many little dents I have in the front end and on the fronts of the rear fenders

Beautiful looking suspension. Lots of Heim joints for those who know what they are doing. I'm not one of them. You might want to back up that plastic zip tie holding the end of your boot.

I can't believe there's a white zip tie on a black dust boot... Total Googan move.

Completely detracts from the essence of perfection used on the rest of the componentry...

:p:p:p

Okay okay now that I know it's there I can't un-see it. I will immediately proceed to hog out a band clamp from a solid block of Titanium 6-4 and install it tonight! :-)

GOOD! That's what you should be doing... :cool:

But, no need to high-grade the materials - I mean, a cheap piece of grade 23 Ti6al4v should be more than adequate for a boot clamp.... No sense in getting too ridiculous about this.

Just make sure it's done by Saturday morning, or else I'm going to show up at the Fountain Hills car show, with a big sign on an easel, that reads:

"This car has a WHITE NYLON Home Depot zip tie underneath it...."


:LOL::LOL:

Well, at least its a Depot tie. If it had been a Harbor Freight one, it would have broken months ago, especially with ALL the miles Mike has racked up. Better watch out, he's gonna wear that thing out, averaging almost 300 MILES @ month! yikes!

Good Lord, Robert is rubbing off.

Danr55 02-08-2017 03:10 AM
Rubbing off what?

moore_rb 02-08-2017 05:31 AM
Hey....!

What, how, and when I rub off ANYTHING is nobody else's business... Got it?:p

Leave it white. Gives it a nice contrast.
