Thank you, it was a helluva lot of work and time.
I am hoping that I do it justice.
And also trying to future proof it all.

"Bump" - suspension travel upwards from normal ride height - think of it as when you go over a "bump".
"Droop" - suspension travel downwards form normal ride height - if you jack a car up on the chassis, it takes a bit to get the wheel off the ground as the suspension "droops".
Rule of thumb seems to be 2/3 of travel (minimum of 2" ish ) is in bump, with a 1/3 of travel in droop for a road going car.
My trials special will have considerably more of each

Cannot remember who asked about the bump stops now.
So I went and fitted the adapter, spacer and a wheel tonight after dinner
Shows the bump stop, and I think it is missed, or is it.
Looks OK from here.
I am hoping that when it is all loaded up with engine and gearbox fitted in there, that the geometry stays good.
Not a lot planned this week.
I am, hoping to get @paulf over, with his hydraulic press to make life easier.
Here’s to hoping.
