Tomo said to get the mega bumper to save the kingpins so I had a look at it and decided to make my own....

Looks good buddy. Maybe mill out sum cut outs in the bumper aswell to keep the wieght down so as not to effect the cars balance and lets abit of air into cool the motor.
Like it in the blue too cheers

I dremeled a wishbone down to fit under the e clip and atatched it to the base with a 30mm screw. I got it at about 2mm under the e clip so it doesn't affect the suspention travel. Just hope it works?

Now see what you started Gazza people are thinking and thinking of new ways this can only be good for the development of the Mardave well done Wayne nice bit of work mate.
Maybe we should just list all the mods as bit by bit these little buggers are getting faster and faster and more mods are turning up. this will soon be on par with 12 pan the way they are going.
One thing i did notice buddy if you look at Jame's car he has the servo facing backwards at the front if you could move the knuckles inward then you could mount a complete top wishbone to mirrow the bottom one just a thought!!!!! Hope gazza aint reading this as if he is he will be in his workshop none stop to perfect this!!!!!!!

Love the innovation wayne! This is why I do the super save so you can do things like this to the car. Mardaves have always been tweaked by their owners, it's that great garden shed engineering bug that the Brits are so good at. Even I haven't seen this mod to the feot a frames before and that's saying something.

If you do manage to mount two a frames one above the other with pins up through them creating a box section then it will have the same effect as the strut braces people use on he front but also reinforce the a frame section in a crash. Alot of banger drivers would benefit from this idea.

Again good work mate!
