- I used both balls from the Boge unit.
- The coil is from the front suspension of
a Mazda 323 Hatch Back.
- The coil should be long enough in its
normal state to handle the full travel of the suspension and narrow
enough to fit between the wishbones.
- The top ball was screwed straight to the
Mazda 323 front suspension top coil holder.
- The bottom ball required some
modification to accommodate a 50 mm extension on the bottom holding
plate. The stud from the ball was removed and the ball was
drilled and tap for a 10 mm bolt. Do not drill right through the
ball.
- The bottom coil holder is a 5 mm thick
plate with a piece of pipe welded to it which is just smaller
than the inside diameter of the coil. The height of the pipe is
about 15 mm.
- The coil is fixed to the bottom holder
in the same manner as the suspension coils on the Range Rover. A
piece of flat bar over the lower section of the coil. This is
bolted to the lower plate.
