| Post subject: | GV bumpstop spacers |
Pulled out the grinder and made myself some bumpstop spacers out of some old sierra body lift blocks. Solid steel with a hole drilled and tapped through the middle. Should work ok i think.  Should stop the struts bottoming out when i install the strut spacers. |

Are they centred in the spring/ on bump strike pad? All of the home made spacers I've seen for vits/ GV's seem to have some sort of offset or mis-alignment to them. I only ask, as this is a job I am yet to do for my vit, and haven't looked into it really well yet. Loogs good though. |

the fronts strike the control arm pretty square pete, it's the rear ones that need the mis-alignment. |

Ah. I see, said the blind man. Guess I didn't pay any attention to which end of the GV the spacers were for
