Hi! Nice ride!!

I have, maybe, the solution for your front bag mounting.
On the internet, i found how to put front bags on a Volvo Amazon.
I think this will be my solution for this problem, for my future ride.

He look similar to your front axle!


Just make a new emplacement for the front shock on the side of the lower arm :



And don't forget to reinforce the lower arm :




reinforced :



I think it's a good solution, maybe not the best for the distribution of forces, but it works ...

Sorry, if it's not a perfect english, it's not my native language.

Not meaning to bring up an old thread... but what happened here?

Here's to bringing up an old thread...
Aron still has the car, under cover in a canopy. He lost interest, but hopefully the car will see the light of day this year, if I can help it.

I need some ideas of where to relocate the front shock on this car so I can put a sleeve bag where the spring goes. It is an old school American style front suspension where the spring is over shock but not connected with dual A-arms.



this is what the axle looks like off the car sadly I don't have any good photos of it on the car but I will try to get some.

Thanks for the support guys I am really stoked to get going on this thing again. I just need to draw up some ideas for front shock re-location.

Yay! I've been needing some classic Opel updates.

My GT is still stuck on the other side of the planet until I can get the money saved to have it shipped over to me.

[OpelWagenGT]

HA! That's a good one. They don't make poly mounts I would have to make my own. It has NOS mounts right now.

Sounds good! Get some polyurethane motor mounts your old ones look a bit wobbly.

I love these cars and yours is a great example, thanks for sharing with us
