Title: S/R with RUF ??
Post by: Mac0 on August 20, 2004, 12:21:26 PM

  Can you use the Calmenie Shackle reversal with Rears up front on the old Samurai ??  Then use stock rears on the back with extended shackles ???

Thanks

Your shackles will end up close to parallel with the ground due to the longer spring. Not a good setup....

OK -- thanks for the reply. I need to do something about the ride on this little warrior ----

Yes you can as I run this.  The springs required drilling the locating bolt so the axle is moved forward a bit.....
The shackles are nearly vertical in doing this........

Ahah! I stand corrected. Good work, Crow, as always. Must be an old pic, or did you get the body fixed already?

Sad to say that it's an old pic... :'(
