just bought a PPP subframe second hand (i know i know.. im sorry. i dont make much and cant afford £500 on bits of metal)
but the seller, nor etches, nor me... have any idea what these extra bits are in the middle of the picture!
(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff2/Roxy_Daz/CIMG0380.jpg)
we know the middle bit is the gear box mount.. but the other two bits?!?!
anyone? :-\
It would take me ours trying to find the right words so I made a visual! hope it helps
that aint a PPP subframe - ppp dont have a removeable/adjustable back peice
the middle of the bits is the gearbox mount
i got a little over zelus with my p's.
its pps not ppp
hense the sorry bit lol
Etches has pps too and he doesnt have them bits =/
is my message not shown? they go where the strut bar connects to the bone! if that is what they are called!
i did see!
i just find it strange that Etches has the same subframe and doesnt have those bits ???
was there a redesign between his and mine?!
No idea! maybe just a defferent aproach! but that is how they connect!
Deffo isn't one of ours!
Maybe Stuart at PPS could say for sure.
Will take a pic of mine tomorrow if needed?
GR40 is correct.
Weird!
Going to be interesting fitting it then, seeing as it'll go on differently to Etches
The mystery is solved! and at a rather wonderful soulution!
so Tom sent an email to Stuart asking him what they were and also what bolts are used because we didnt get any more than what you see in the picture when we bought it.
and he sent us a reply basically saying...
The frame i have is an old design, and the bits im not sure about fit to the TCAs. then went on to say the flaws with this design... and then...
"i would recommend you dont use this setup, but all is not lost, if you would send it all to me i will update it to the new design FOC, all i would ask of you is to cover the postage, i'd rather do this for you than have a frame of mine out there that isn't up to scratch. and it would come back with all the bolts and stuff you need"
What a wonderful chap!
... i wonder if he can powder coat it pink for me too while hes there..

Spookey :
This bit is what he said before the bit i originally posted from the email "The frame you have is one of the first designs, the bits you refer to are fitted to the TCA's and take the other rose joint, the reason these have been superceded by the design you have, is that over time those brackets can turn wich alters their length and throws out your settings"
