First Contact and suspension Issues

2016-10-11 by Philip Graham

Hi,By way of introduction my name is Phil and live in Australia e address graham_philip@...
I am hoping that one of your "maniacs" can help me.
I am currently installing the Marcos Engineering provided anti bump steering kit has anybody carried this modification out?I have install the front end and have a problems with the rear installation. The replacement provided aft support brackets (see sketch) foul the bodywork  do I have to trim the fibre-glass here?
Provided a couple of pics of my 1987 Marco Mantula Spyder, which now has now been bored and stroke to five litre (302cu) replaced the manual box with a five speed auto, guess I am getting lazy also power brakes.
Best Regards
Phil

Thanks for the info as for my brakes I have disc brakes alround thanks to a modified fired back axle and enlarge disc as the previous arrangement of disc and drums was inadequate and as mentioned a vacuum assisted system
Many thanks keep in touch

Phil
