Front end help VortX Super

Hi,

Can somebody please post some clear instructions (pic´s) on.

1: Fitting "raceleda" front hub...what washers go where when fitting on a-arms??

2: Steering link to Steering arm on hub. The hole in steering arm is much bigger than tapered axle on steering link.
The link is also hooked, should the "hook" (bend) face forward or rearwards?

Would be soooo greatful for any help. Rescued attachment DSC00113.JPG

Hi if you drop me your email address I will send over the pics I have, from when I put mine together

Looks like you are missing the tophats that go into the hole for the track rods ends to fit in, mine where missing from my kit but Chris sent them out next day

Have a look at this thread. I dont know which type you have but some uprights have rod ends which require the use of adaptors.

GREAT!!

Those steering link top hat´s is what i miss.

Front hub set up = GREAT!

Still confused about:
The link is also hooked, should the "hook" (bend) face forward or rearwards?

Do you mean the link bar for the track rod end, if so mine face towards the disc rather than the chassis, these pics may help: (taken before I had my tophats!)

I checked this with Marc before fitting mine. The link should curve forwards to the pivot. In other words the tapered pin going through the steering arm (attached to the upright) should be forward of the centerline (axis) of the steering rack rod the link screws on to.

I thought for the price i payed for the raceleda uprights the bolts would have been a decent spec- but mine are 3 years old now- car hasnt been in wet or on the road(still building) and they are rusty - the calliper bolts are shocking.
