RCD shock and mount numbers.

I mentioned I'm a member here, and asked about the possibility of getting the kit back out, or even a "one time run" if there was enough interest and people actually getting the money up-front.

this was the reply I got on 5/5

i tried calling Fox, and couldn't even get through on the phone yesterday, , hmmm
 






but the shocks can be had from other companies, so all you really need are the mounts,

Don't forget the Alum tower spacers, Gussets, and grade 8 hardware ;)

And then there is the limit straps & eyelets, plus possible extended brake lines depending on your set up :D
 






I'm almost ready to plan to convert mine, I haven't read of anyone not having a better ride from the coil over springs.

Here are some plans I've found with all of the dimensions

tower spacers are still available that was established,

bolts can be bought,,

limit straps and eyelets are available,

but some brackets , is better than none,, ,
 












yeah, if there was somebody that could and was willing to get sets of brackets cut, bent, welded, etc, I'd definitely order a set.

The problem with those drawings is there are no angle dimensions, so unless you were to keep printing at different scales until you found the sweet spot, then traced them onto metal and cut by hand, it'd be VERY difficult to transfer them onto a CAD system to be laser/plasma cut.

...I have an edge coming into the shop Monday, I bet I could make up some templates for you guys that want them, and maybe even offer them with coilovers at a good price.
