Hi Gaz, I have the 4 link for the sedan now and I'm not sure if I need to do a cradle to mount the coilovers.
What did you do ?
Any photo or info a great help.
Cheers,
Roger

Thanks Gaz
I think I will do a cross over bar and reinforce it to the chassis rail.
I have a look a Gary Q's Black Beast build as well so I'm a lot more formable in moving forward now.
Cheers,
Roger

Looks good Gaz. I suppose the front will drop a little with the addition of sheet metal etc. I like your engine mount setup.

Great work done there Gary,

I love the boxed and lip delete on the subframe, that gives you at least another 10mm clearance for exhaust and leaves a nice smooth look.

I know you told me but who made your front end ?

Thanks, I can’t take credit for the subframe work, it was cut out and replaced with 3mm plate. Work was done by a mate at Streetrod & Customs.
Same bloke built Jeremy’s grey EK Sedan with the Black roof and Tim’s red sedan (both at the Nats)

He fitted the 4-link for me so I got him to do the subframe while it was in there

Cheers Clay, it’s a Rodtech front end, very tidy bit of gear.
