Re: *** HELP*** MGTF Rear Subframe Fitting
Well, things are not looking good.
After a few hours of thinking, looking and prodding, I have came to the conclusion that the TF frame with the standard MG suspension with trailing arms WILL NOT fit a K3 for one simple fact that I overlooked..............
To fit the TF frame, you have to cut the front end body mount bracket off, to utilise the holes equivalent to the Metro set up and when you fit the 2 hole front mounts into the ‘new’ holes, the bracket fouls the trailing arm compliance bush
How the feck did I miss that when stripping it?
Soooooooo, I don’t need to worry about tub clearance, because it just won’t work!!!!
Back to the drawing board, as the options now are;
* Use the existing, manky Metro frame with individualised hydragas spheres and keep the sh!tty GTM handbrake
* as above, but use PEEPS, fantastic coil over mount brackets
* Use the MGF front subframe that I have with individualised hydragas spheres and keep the sh!tty GTM handbrake
* as above, but use PEEPS, fantastic coil over mount brackets
* Use the TF frame, but with MGF front hubs, arms etc and keep the sh!tty GTM handbrake
* Buy a MGF rear subframe and use with individualised hydragas spheres, keeping hubs, etc as I really want a proper handbrake
* as above, but use PEEPS, fantastic coil over mount brackets
My brain hurts, I’m pi$$ed off royally and fell like scrapping the bloody thing
