Hi Rick,
thats a great looking front suspension setup you have there, did you have any problems fitting your 4 link rear suspension from Bill Guzman, I received mine yesterday and looking forward to fitting the kit to my car, it looks very well engineered.
Regards,
Arnie.

My Classic Conversions four link is getting installed this coming Wednesday.

Congrats Rick. I wish I'd have had mine painted black or silver or something... when i got it, the wife wanted the car blue so I had Ted paint the suspension blue... now she's switched to burgandy (which I like better anyway) so I'll be repainting the IFS... since the bushings are pressed in & Ted says they can't be removed w/o destroying them, I'll have to sand/mask/paint w/o taking apart & sand blasting... it's going to be a pain!

But it's a pain that will go away when it's done. However, with wives....

Pete and I finished the install of Classic Conversions four-link rear suspension on my 1974.5 MGB/GT V8 conversion this afternoon.

Only unplanned activity in the install was the re-design of the battery box to give the right upper link full range-of-motion. (This would not be necessary in a chrome-bumper MGB).

The only welding involved was for the tabs for the upper link-to-differential mounts.

As it sits, the kit lowered the rear of the car by about 2 inches..and there are adjustments that I can make to lower the car even more. (This will wait until the front crossmember is installed)

All I need for the rear suspension is a pair of Rusty's rebound straps.
