Figure 125: LH brake pipe fitting

1. P-clip

2. Brake pipe LH

3. Three way connector

9.5) Assembly of the rear suspension

Warnings

1. Never work underneath a car without

supporting it on axle stands or

equivalent. Do not rely on a jack alone.

2. Use appropriate eye protection

whilst working under the car.

Place the De Dion tube into the chassis

from the RH side ensuring that the central

buttress faces downwards and that the

flanges face forward. Care must be taken

to prevent damage to the brake pipes.

9.6) Rear spring damper assemblies

NOTES

1. The rear spring damper units are only

fitted at this point if the standard roll over

bar is to be installed.

2.If the track day roll over bar or roll cage

is to be installed do not install the spring

damper units yet.

Insert a sleeve into the top bush of the

damper unit (close coils of spring are at

the top), align the top bush with the top

mounting and insert the top mounting bolt

(2) through the access holes provided in

the seat back panel. Tighten to 54 Nm

once the spring damper unit has been

attached to the De Dion tube.

NOTE

Sometime it may be a tight interference

while fitting sleeve into the damper and

might need pressing using a bench vice.

The lower spring damper mounting is

secured to the threaded boss welded to

the underside of the De Dion tube. Pass

bolt (3) through spring washer (16), plain

washer (13), the spring damper unit and

plain washer and secure to the De Dion

tube. Tighten to 54 Nm.

NOTE

Because the suspension is not under

load, the bottom bush of the damper unit

and the mounting on the De Dion tube will

not be in alignment. Take great care not to

cross-thread the bottom mounting bolt. If

necessary remove the mounting bolt from

the rear of the ‘A’ frame to allow more

movement of the De Dion tube.
