avon rear suspension setup again(any comment appreciated)
Hi Mate’s
After a long break I am now in a position to make some progress.
I know this topic was discussed before but most of the people that are experienced with this problem use the readily fabricated chassis and
suspension components but I fabricate all the things myself and I haven’t fixed the suspension brackets yet so according to yours comment I can make
some modifications easily.
when I’ve just assembled the rear right hand side components As mentioned in the book I set the gap between front of the lower wishbone to the
chassis at 100 mm. But as seen in the picture below there is no way to line up the upper wishbone with upright even though the ball joints
positioned as backward as possible
 
According to this problem by using the book dimensions i made some calculation and I was shocked. The suspension setup is completely wrong .I put
wishbones on the table and simulate setup on the same layer to see the error as in the picture
 
Description
To solve this problem I spun the bottom wishbone through 180 degree. But in this configuration the gap between front of the lower wishbone to the
chassis becomes 110 mm. Does this make any problem? I will make my own GRP

You need to upload the images as jpg or gif to the site (into you photo archive) before adding the linky.. I bet you can see them but we cant!

are you sure you have the wishbones upper and lower and the rear hub carriers the right way round as they are all right/left handed.The mistake is
easy to make as the differences are very slight

have you made the rear hub carriers yet? It should become clear when you do, the centre line mounting point of where the bones bolt to the carrier is
meant to be offset to match the bracket on the rear carrier wich is also offset.once its all bolted together the carrier will sit true plumb

looking at your picture it seems to be correct but cant be 100% sure. Dont assume all mesurements in the book are correct cos there are quite a few
mistakes  . I ended up driving down to tiger in peterborough to take my own measurements from one of their chassis cos there are differences from
the book dimensions at the front end. Ill double check to see if there were any mistakes on the rear mounting points.

In the end I decided to make my own.....
If you don't use the body, your free to choose.
That 110 mm rings a bell, there is some info here... let's use search..

And there are a lot of faults in that book.

I think there is another Avon builder in Cyprus or may be Greece ( sorry I know there is a huge difference!) his avatar was a picture of a childs
toolbench,somebody may be along soon who remembers him.
The dimensions at the rear seem to be correct but I took some extra measurements of the diagonals so to check my chassis was true and that the
bodywork would fit. If you message me your email address I could scan them and email you them from work next week. I dont have a scanner at home. They
are a bit rough and covered in welding spot burns but will prove very usefull.

instead of 100mm the 110 mm gap can make effect on the position of the wheel in the wheel arch. but i am pllanig to make my GRP myself so I can
arrange the GRP to the present position of the wheel.Are there another effect that i cannot consider?

Make sure that the wheel is in the end parrallel to the centre line of the vehicle
