Hay guys long time no speak

Anyway I now own a freelander, I want to make my own lift spacers but can't find a drawing/diagram on the turret extension parts

Any one have one or a kit that they could measure for me please

Cheers
Pete

Is it a Freelander 1 or a Freelander 2?

I did see a magazine article for a lift on a F1 quite a few yonks ago and I will see if I can find it and post here it if I can.

Got my prototype ball joint lift kit back from the machine shop today my own design looks great in shiny metal at last

I promise I will get pics up soon of the parts

pics as promised firstly my hi steer spacer, still a work in progress needs a couple of flats machined into the sides for an adjustable spanner

thisd pic shows it fitted and still allowing full ball joint movement a chamfer will go arond the bottom edge to avoid any damage to the rubber boot

a close look at the steering spacer

my suspension strut spacers a few pics of the weld up
, the are made from a mix of 6mm and 3mm mild steel as you can see in a couple of places the 3mm is doubled up to make a 6mm part

and the finished set ready for powdercoat (now done but no pics) uber strong
