New shocks from Protech for the rear, super stiff and beefy.  Spring porn  Got another set of these!  This summer I have been working on a trailer to pull the Allegro about, keeping it within the weight limits of my 3.5 ton licence  |

Yeah man, love it. I bought a load of aerosols that were the colour match brand. Turns out must have been a bad batch as some of them are slightly darker, so I use them on things like this Rear dampers now fitted and they can certainly cope with the spring rate, just inquiring about getting some 3000lb/in springs made as I now have a lot more room in the holders. |

Yeah, it sort of looks like that. The A frame has ended up being quite long as I've moved about 2ft of the deck to get the balance right. I might be able to build a wheel rack though It'll be plenty braced. New shocks fitted, the dampers are certainly much better. It could take some more spring now, however anything higher would be a custom order at £150 a spring!   |

More done Wiring to do now, and the brakes. Planning on fitting a high level led brake light to the Allegro and having a patch lead from the trailer into the car's boot. That way the trailer will have a high brake light too.  |

A patch lead *only* for the high-level brake light? If you're going that far... |
