[Fot] Lever shock mounts

[TR4Tony]

Henry

I have seen this and its worth noting that the Works Rally TR4's had 
reinforcing of the rear turret in period to stop this sort of thing 
happening (even with the larger DAS10 mount).

I run a couple of mods on BST82B which are similar, but using a DAS9 type 
adjustable twi nvalve shock. So far any failure ive had has been of the arm 
of the shock detaching or snapping, usually as a result of getting the car 
airborne off a decent sized jump. The turrets dont show any signs of failure 
after 5 years of hard work. Usually the u bolts and the restraining hoops 
snap and the diff ends up reshaping the rear of the parcel shelf if im being 
naughty .... so you hear a good whack to let you know that youve destroyed 
the rear end.

If you want to know more about what Im running email me off list.

Best regards

Tony
