Guard Work 3
Body work is one of my least favourite jobs. But someone has to do it. I spent quite a bit of time hammering the bigeezus out if the inner guard to give the tyre some more room. There was heaps of melted rubber up in there from Taupo. Really need some stiffer springs to prevent the body roll. Maybe a 12 / 10kg combo when the budget allows. Tried to hammer the flare into the smoothest shape possible before filling to minimise the thickness of bog required. These shots show the progress just before the final sanding. I am really starting the hate white dust now.
55mm Gain
Managed to un-seize the rear suspension and discovered the rear shock body had heaps more thread available inside. The damper was able to be wound 55mm down into the body and the spring perch wound up 55mm to counter it and keep the ride height the same. So I have effectively gained 55mm travel and now the spring nearly captive. Good outcome overall.
