80-82

PM 9/5/2002

Found this on a German site, work done again by
ACP-Euskirchen (the guys w/ the brembo & koni coilover
kits and the C3's w/ partial Dana44 differentials and modded
trailing arms)

Sweeet... I like the pipes too. Guess if he
needs to check the diff. fluid level, it's now a major job...

Twinnie, do you have any idea/experience how
hard/ easy it would be to accomodate 80-82 rear in to 1979?
That set up shown abowe is real killer, I want one!

You'll need to remove the stock diif
crossmember and weld 2 ears on the frame, not that hard. The
front mounting point is the same.

You can see the 2 ears here

Mounting pad on the diff:

On the pic above they simply drilled holes in the diff
cover, there already are some spots there in the castings that
can be drileld & tapped.
They are visible here (4 of
them)

The U shaped bracket is custom, the upper ear for the
camber rods is off a C4.

If you need measurements for the ears on the frame, let me
know.

Maybe you can buy the bracket & rods
straight from ACP

You know their pages right ( http://www.acp-euskirchen.de/ )
They're
the ones w/ the brembo, koni and Dana 44 stuff.

Do they sell the Kit? There is a kit from
Guldstrand for 68 to 82 (80 to 82 is slightly different). The
kit uses rod ends for all links.

Note that this is much more that the six link talked about
by some forum members that just adds another link above the
half shafts to act as the upper link. The kit from Germany and
the Guldstrand kit and true multi-link suspensions. The one
from Germany shows the links to the diff are used for toe
control which is a fault of the standard C3 suspension. When
you go to the toe adjustments/links as shown, the control arm
can no longer be fixed to the frame. It's not shown in th pic,
but I'm sure the spindle mount has links from it to the frame
so that toe can change as the suspension moves up and down.
