MYTH.

Rear Shock Damper.

We attach to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /HH's copy the original of PL.411 Link Geometry - Rear Shock Damper.

The above scheme shows the geometry of the rear shock damper links, when on a One Wheel Full Bump and One Wheel Full Rebound, it will be noticed that the maximum angle of the link in relation to the bolted ends, does not exceed 7°, and as the Harris Bushes are capable of taking up to 8° endways movement, we do not anticipate any trouble.

Will Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /HH please note, no detailing is required for this scheme.
