Yep 6mm would be way to thin to do one like that it sits heaps lower than the std defer one and the bracket i made fits on the inside of the rail not the outside and sits up only about 35-40mm below the rail just like the defer :D

That's not the case either, they ALL stay in the same place when the swivels are rotated, do you know what the rotated swivels ACTUALLY do:eek:

I know it makes it steer and handle better.

Do YOU know what they do?

Actually your correct, its a stir, I was just checking something;)

Seed of doubt and all that:D :angel:

When they're rotated the front arm or drag link lifts up and the rear arm, or tie rod falls down:( Due to the knuckle attachements rotateing backwards;)

But anyway, I'll take some pics of the factory rover mount and my Rangie tomorrow if I remember

Thats better....I accept you appology. ;)


I thought I had it right but you amde me start doubting myself. :p

Well I worked out how to make the bracket. But I also found another problem which I should have noticed earlier.

I just screwed the Defender drag link end onto my Rangie drag link, but that makes the drag link too long because the Defender one with the bracket is longer than the rangie one. I guess I will have to find a Defender drag link.
