MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Extended Trunnion Bolts and Triangulation Links

Morning all,

An update from a couple of threads a few months back (for those of you not on FB). I finally picked up my custom made extended trunnion bolts yesterday and thus have all the bits for my triangulation link kit.

Love a bit of shiny, custom go faster bits :-D

I have/had enough bits for five pairs of links - all of which have found homes already. But if anyone is interested I might do another run of them.

Enjoy your weekends everyone,
Malc.

Nice.

If only shiny new front dampers were as available. 😐

I presume you'll paint it all black though Malcolm ;-)
Bill Bretherton

Blimey you might have to paint the rust on them. Lets hope you get a good coat of oil and grease spray on them from other components in the car to build up a good layer for road grime to stick to as shiny parts can be distracting so a safety hazard with your head under the wheel arch - but I expect a 16 valver would be wearing sunglasses anyway. 😋
Nigel Atkins

Done a good job on them Malc. Like it. Mine of similar design have been working well for almost 10 years.
Rob Armstrong

Why it's the lesser spotted purple striped Armstrong! What are you doing in these parts? ;-)
Malcolm

I pop in now and again to see what's happening and raid the archives. Mostly to remind myself what I've previously said (is that an age thing?)
Rob Armstrong

No Rob, its common after years of alcohol (ab)use LOL!!!
A de Best

Are they negative trunnion bushes Malc?

Jeremy

Shame for putting Malc down, surely it is a positive thing that he has had these bolts made!

(Sorry, been a humourless slog of a working day)

Cheers
Mike
M Wood

LOL Mike,

Hope tomorrow is better, at least it's POETS day.
Jeremy MkIII

lol.

They are standard bushes Jeremy.
Malcolm

Cheers Malc, it's a ery neat job you've done there.
Jeremy MkIII

Thanks. It's been in development for a few months.

It's fairly simple on the face of it. But when you get into the detail, the packaging of it all is a bit of a PITA to get right due to the various clearances, rod end angles etc.
