  FG Shock Absorbers - The Australian Version
We have had the below pictures sent in by David Hyde of his version of mounting the FG Modellsport shock absorbers to the rear of the Dart.

Bigger Version
The image on the left shows the mounted shock absorbers, the way he has achieved this is far neater than my own version as he has used one of the alloy axle block upper links (Part# 76/281).
This has been slotted and bolted through the side plate.

The image above right shows how the bottom of the shock absorbers have been mounted on an extended lower wishbone pivot pin (Part# 76/203). This will give the maximum amount of leverage to the shock absorber and will generate a good anti-roll effect.

The standard rear anti-roll bar arrangement has been retained, but altered by drilling holes in the anti-roll bar main bar (Part# 76/240) in a position to line up with the mounting points of the original shock absorbers. PB Dart Rear Anti-Roll Bar

Summary
The FG shock absorbers are apparently working well and we will possibly copy his mounting ideas in our next version of the Dart.
Many thanks go to David for submitting the pictures and the info.
