Mikem coils
I decided to give Swifty a lifty by fitting a set of Mikem coils in front. The ride is much improved and I gained another 35mm lift . Now Darrell from Mikem must assist in raising the rear 35mm....

Re: Mikem coils
Martin ek sien dat jy SF onder jou lux se neus het.
Was dit baie moeite of is dit maklik om dit te doen. :roll: en wat kos so 'n ombou

Re: Mikem coils
Pieter,
Ek het dit laat doen, so ek het nie baie moeite gehad nie, behalwe om te betaal!
Die ombouing bestaan uit control arms van 'n Landrover Discovery met 'n panhard rod en Cruiser coils. Verder word ventilated Cruiser discs gebruik met die oorspronklike 2.7 calipers en 40mm spacers. Ek moes self die SFA verskaf. Die agterste diff ratio word ook verander na 4.88 om by die voor as te pas. Jy kan jou regmaak vir ongeveer R20k plus die SFA.

Re: Mikem coils
Hulle se dit is soos 'n vrou wat geboorte gee: die pyn word gou vergeet en hulle sien sommer gou weer kans vir nog een . Ek het lankal vergeet dat ek die bank moes breek om die conversion te laat doen en ek geniet die Lux elke dag net 'n bietjie meer!

Re: Mikem coils
Ek dink ons moet nou eers die gesprek los want dis nie ek wat die bank gaan breek nie , maar my vrou wat my nek gaan breek
Dankie ek vra die soort vrae, dit help 'n my net om te oorweeg of ek nie na 'n SFA teen 'n goeie prys moet soek nie.

Re: Mikem coils
Mooi bakkie!
Is dit dalk moontlik dat jy vir ons close up foto's kan plaas wat die coilspring mountings bo en onder wys, asook die pennard en raduis rodds. Ek oorweeg dit sterk om my Willys op coils te sit.
Thanks!

Re: Mikem coils
Andries,
Sorry dit het so lank geneem, maar hier is 'n paar fotos. Hoop dit help.
This is the upper mounting (to the chassis) of the panhard rod This is the lower (to the axle) mount of the panhard rod. This is the coil spring mount to the axle. This is the upper mount (to the chassis) of the coil spring. Another shot of the upper mount. A view of the control arm mounting to the chassis. The control arm mounting to the axle. The modified (longer) steering arm. Martin

Re: Mikem coils

I'm not worthy
I'm pricing extended shackles at the moment as my front leaves are tired (but still strong) and my rear ones are sagging (but also still strong). I don't need to replace the leaves yet so:
I can get a set from RoughTrax4x4 in the UK at Xmas for 120pounds
How does that compare with Mikem please
I can't remember our Mikem Guy's Forum Naam :roll:

You know, before I could glug down my 3rd cup of coffee there was a PM waiting for me from Darrell at Mikem;
including quote and advice

Martin baie dankie vir die foto's. Ek oorweeg dit om my WILLYS JEEP wat ek gebou het so te verander.

Re: Mikem coils
Andries, nice Jeep, seker beter as die originals!
Maar hoe lyk dit vir my dat die voor wiele se alignment is effens uit?

Re: Mikem coils
So op die oog af lyk alles reg. Hy hou lekker pad, is 'n droom in die slote. As ek met alles klaar is sal ek hom vat om sy wiele te stel, ens. Wat dink jy van so Willys Jeep op coil springs?
