Thanks mate! I forgot they are adjustable!

well I hope you are all happy, look what you have all made me do.
started last week, just cutting things by hand from scrap at work, with all the info you have provided it's going well so far
stupid questions will follow I am sure.
pictures are of the first spacer with the lid off, I made the pegs from a 24mm nut and put a 12 mm nut and bolt inside it (the bolt head fits a treat) so I had an m12 thread to screw it into the bottom plate before welding, and the finished product.
Thanks again for the thread
will keep you posted
Looking good!
Though you know the rangies are only 3 tonne max..... well, it'll never break:beer:

There is a placein the world for overkill
if you can't find it at its place then it's probably at my house, it visits often
a bit of a p38 that will never break, I like the sound of that!
Looking very strong there :-) Look forward to your progress!
couple more of the spacers
and the painted finished articles
Looks like you've sloped the rear ones 10 degs all on one side. I sloped mine 5 degs on each side - adding up to the same. Shouldn't make too much difference I wouldn't have thought.
The quality of the workmanship looks great. So what is your face to face dimension of the lift spacers?
you are quite correct, I put all of the angle on the top, to be honest I couldn't see it making any difference to the finished article and they are easier to cut out with one square edge.
I have copied the popular sizes from this thread so fronts are 50mm overall and the backs are 40 front 60 rear, the only thing that's slightly different is that my bottom plates are 5mm and the tops are 4mm, that was the material in the scrap bin and I believe thicker than 4 won't allow the pin to hold the spring down.
height sensors next, should be fun
height sensors are underway,
made my own adjusters from some 10mm stainless tube, 1.5mm wall thickness so fits nicely over the rod the height sensors are made from, then welded an M6 nut on each end. cut and thread the ends to give adjustment.
This is where the questions start
the rear I have extended by 20mm on each leg as some of the original kits, the front ones I have fitted a fixed 20mm extention to the short arm and added an adjuster to the other leg, the question is how much longer does that other leg need to be, it seems to me that the extension must be less than the back as the arms are shorter so there will be more angular change per mm of extra length.
so how much longer does the other leg on the the front sensor need to be?
I am really hoping that all makes sense, it did in my head when I was typing it
