started on scratch build shocks today , first made a bracket out of hard plastic card , used 2 rods i had with an eye ... put a pin needle through with flat head
then drilled open some casted schocks out of the partsboxes .. glued in the grey rod
ik heb eerst 2 kit schokbrekers open geboord en daar de grijze stang in gelijmd
thren cut them .. and made a larger lower surface by heating it a bit , on the pic its not sanded flat on the bottom ..
on ne side i had a thin rod of the pin needle coming out .. used chrome steel beads on that side
with some round styrene and pinn needles made the bottom mount , later glued a square plate on the back thats gos on the axle
put the schocks on the chassis and axle .. also visible the brake discs i will use , look strirdy but they fit in a smalles diameter wheel / rims , discs will be crome and calipers .. ?? painted ... some brake lines later on !
on the tyres now the track width in front will be more narrow then on these pics but for mock up i used closed rim backs that wont go over the discs
visible schocks from the front
