........and now for something completely different.

For years I've been banging on about the BX16V that ran at Bathurst in the Production car series back in the early 90s and have turned heavan and Earth over looking for a few clues as to what they did.
Following a long winded thread over here a while back, it turned out that a few of the old race cars came to the surface. These if you remember were all minus the sunroof (why weren't they all)
Here is a posting that came through tonight (this morning your time) which should be of great interest.
I've omitted one link as it's dead, but if he sorts it, I'll post it as a response.
One for you to all use as a basis for future suspension mods and much more effective than the old cutting the groove in the height selector trick.

Enjoy, have fun,You can make some adjustable spheres. Take an accumulator sphere; machine the inside face flat; fit a "heli coil" thread to the inside face; collect the damper washers from old spheres; using a 7mm bolt and nyloc nut fit as many/few damper washers either side of damper plate as you require; place damper assembly inside sphere; use a manufactured retaining numt to hold it all in place; fit to car and test on a race track. Also fit a schrader type valve in place gas charging plug so that the pressure can be varied.
You now have a fully configurable "spring and damper" set up. See links to pics.
