Anyone know how I can fit the Elcon shocks all round? has it been done yet, or is it too much of a ball ache

rover man has don it go on go for it ged

Mr Roverman, I would have put money on you being my man. Will speak with you next time I see you. I think this is something I'm gonna do

you need more than 5mm of thread in eaxh plastic ball end or they will pull out.

I have been in the same position needing longer tie rods for my steering when I made my own widened bulkhead so I ended up making my own fairly easily.

Perhaps you can find a car with longer track rods, Maybe Elcon sell longer steering rods for the widened XL front end they sell for the marder but at best they would only be 15mm longer than std marder tie rods because that's how much longer the suspension arms are.

To do-it-yourself you gotta go to an engineering supply shop and buy a 6mm die set for left and right hand thread then cut your own thread on the ends of some blank rod. Buy some 6mm steel or s/steel rod (whilst you're at the engineering supplies) or if you have a lathe you can use 8mm aluminium like I did and just turn the threaded section down to 6mm before you cut the thread.

To adjust them like a regular turnbuckle I just drill a small hole in the rod to insert an allen key driver as my lever.

If you have a close look at the pic you'll see the tie rod I made. Sorry don't have a better pic right now.

gresty does all dif sizes of them
