Savage 21 BL Conversion - From The Beginning...Advice Appreciated =)

Drilling those pistons was the best thing i could have done for those shocks hey - i had a slightly smaller drill around, but i'm impatient, and couldn't find it, so went with what was on hand -lol- I'm thinking i might move up to 35 or 40wt oil, and grab some of the RC Raven progressive springs for these, as i plan on giving it a good kick up the arse on some big jumps i found about 20 minutes away from my house =)

Thanks for the comment mate =D The front has heaps of toe-in cause there are no shocks mounted in the pics, so the arms are hanging a bit lower than normal, but i'm still yet to play with that also =)


I've run into a small problem with one of my FLM upper arms tho... ok it's bigger than a small problem hehehe

As i was locking the 2 nuts to the outer section of the arm (to stop the play it has there), it appears i tightened them down way too much and didn't realise it, because I've managed to twist the thread so much inside the outer end that it snapped the thread itself! -lol-
will get some pics up soon that will explain much better than my words - been a bit hard to find any time to do anything tho lately, have heaps going on here atm...


***EDIT***
This is what i was shooting for....


Unfortunately, this is what i ended up with...


Dunno how good your eyes are - but this is inside the outer arm...


You can see how it bevels down into ½ the thickness of the threaded rod inside the end of the outer arm...



I've also got the 2230 mounted up too, but only a few 'whole truck' shots before i snapped the arm -lol- Uploading em now - there's like - 18 pictures - mostly useless, but gonna add em in here anyway, simply cause i can -lol- Will post back soon =)
