So... have those Elise Parts uprights for helicoils for the hub carrier bolts? If not, they are dangerous. I know, as I have some of their old ones where the threads in the uprights were just plain aluminum, expecting to take a steel bolt torqued up to 45 nm (if I remember correctly). Every time you undo them and tighten them to change the shims the alu threads wear until they crumble.
Hi Neville, so we had an interesting debate over on the VX220 FB page on this matter, head over there to see the full discussion. One thing to add, these are newer models of the uprights too (certainly the rears are, as the Ultimate rather then GT).
Pete haha, it’s Paul Dowsett. Great video. Enjoy the suspension. 👍🏻
Paul, amazing! Thanks for your comment and a rather surreal moment. Thanks for your efforts putting these together.

Some awesome components there! Looking forward to seeing them fitted.
@cahill still only a quarter of all the crap you have stashed 🤣
Cheers Cahill! Looking forward to getting them on (plus new wheels too!) in April.
