bent fury hub upright
Well after a good half day at bedford all was spoilt just before lunchtime, id let my mate have a drive and he span quite violently sideways over a
kerb, no real noise was made which is why i was surprised to find this had happened. No breakage can be seen and the strut is only touching the cv
boot, the joint itself seems ok.
The real Pig is i had lost my mcgard looking wheel nut key so cant get the bloomin wheel off until the replacement arrives, which hopefully will be
before saturday although it could take up until next week and I have llandow on the 10th!

comisserations. I've bent mine before. It's sickening and time consuming. Does it become an opportunity to do more mods?
I have a full set of spax and springs from mine if that helps you. They've got less than 3000 miles on them. The rears are from the first IRS
furys.

Do you have the original upright/hub or just the coilover?

Just the four coil-overs sorry - my hubs are still on the car.

Is this Chapman struts on the early IRS?

Yup. They're golf shocks.

Anyone have a spare or old one they want to sell  unfortunately Steve at fury sports cars doesn't but he did email me the drawings for them
which will be handy.

Description
Here's it finally removed, it's going to take a lot of heating and bashing, possibly cutting the bent bits out and welding back in once
straightened. No one have a spare??????

You'd be better off making a new I think, rather than trying to fix that bent one!

It's scarcely believable that the upright was fabricated like that in the first place.
Really, it failed exactly where it was bound to, in the middle of a flat bit of unsupported mild steel of what 1.5-2.0mm thickness ?
Had that section of the upright been fabricated from some round pipe instead of a square box, the load wouldn't have done that.
I love Sylvas and every marque that's come from them, but I'm not a fan of that particular bit of work.
