Help with Fred's SVO

[Chalky]

Classic Tube makes them in mild and stainless.

I sent them an e-mail and they said they needed a sample. I might have to call.

Chalky,

You need an MMBAK-9 for the m/c lines in addition to 1/2 of an MMBAK-18 kit. To order the half kit, you will need to call the office.

We do have the brake lines with the correct fittings that are needed to connect the proportioning valve to the m/c without any adapters, however one of the lines would require a significant amount of bending to make it fit. I think the above solution will work better even though it is using one adapter.

It should be pretty easy to make one? Buy or rent a double bend tool, some nice tune and the proper fittings, maybe 20 minutes?

Ok, so after much research, I've come up with a final laundry list. Anyone wanna chime in with any final thoughts?? Am I missing anything??

- SVO front sway bar with poly bushings
- rebuilt original '86 SVO front rack and tie rod ends with poly bushings
- original SVO control arms machined for SN-95 balljoints
- custom stainless brake hard lines matched to an original '86 set
-'94 SN-95 front spindles
- '94 Cobra 15/16" MC machined to fit stock SVO brake booster
-MMBAK-17 MC to PV adaptor lines
- Willwood prop valve in rear line
- gutted stock prop valve
- '98 Cobra front calipers with Hawk HPS pads
- DBA T2 13" slotted front rotors
- MMBK8F braided front lines (stock to SN95 calipers)
- H&R sports springs with poly isolators
- Koni "yellow" struts 8741-1121S
-rear rotors, DBA T2 with Hawk HPS pads
- '95 GT Varga calipers with '03 Cobra brackets
- MMBK7P rear hard and soft line kit for my existing '95 GT 8.8" axle
- Koni "yellow" shocks
- MM HD Adjustable LCA's
- new upper LCA with new rubber bushings in axle
- MM Panhard bar
- MM XL full length subframes.

Might think about going with a MM Torque Arm, eliminating the upper control arms completely. Since you are doing the subframes and Panhard anyways, it will tie everything together, huge traction gains in the rear and less bind. It is on my wish list. Jeff

Jeff, I've given the torqu arm a lot if thought but am worried about ground clearance since my car sits so low. Again it's that going overboard thing

[Jack Hidley]

Chalky,

The TA attaches to the axle housing. The ride height of the car has virtually no affect on how much ground clearance it has. The ground clearance is primarily affected by the overall tire diameter.

The TA does connect to the chassis in front, but it tapers upwards towards the attachment point. The end result is that there is no affect on ground clearance with ride height.

The low point of the TA is just in front of the rear tires. When you drive over a speed bump the tires start lifting the car up as the TA gets close to the speed bump. The result is that it never hits anything.
