Williams V 16V front Struts

[Flan]

Hi here's one for you all

A, Are 16v shocks/legs the same as Williams ones

B, I know where there is a 172cup breaking, are they the same as williams

Not sure wat i have on my Willy1 but the camber is like 20Degrees.

NOt good.... Help :(

[Flan]

:(

Take that as a not sure lhen lol

Just realised one of my shocks was bent, must have came of a crached 16v as its not the original shocks, the camber is still 3*

wat is the standard camber ment to be

Stuart

A = I think same shocks (Gabrielle ot De Carbon depending on year)

B = No

[Lunner]

ideal camber is around -1* give ort take 1* IIRC, minus figures becausew the bottem of the wheels stick out further than the top of the wheels

[MatBrown]

16v and Willy shocks are different, the holes for the hub carrier are at a slightly different angle, so if you fitted the wrong shocks this could cause your samber problems.
I have some almost new Williams springs/shocks for sale.



Mat.

[Flan]

lol

Yer i no you do Matt. They came of the car. lol

Its Stuart i have your 057!!!

[Flan]

STOP

Me Being an idiot.... Wrong Matt. lol :oops:

Sorry im new to the Forum, only been into Clio's for 2 months but already done two 2l convertions and now restoring a Willy1

Soz Matt, How much for the Shocks

0057 has 'cup racer' suspension (just shocks i think) as fitted by Paul Mitchel, but as these where based on a racing car id say thats your problem.


Race cars run alot of camber (probably upwards of 3 degrees). Cup shocks are totally inapropriate for the Williams for road use.


What were you told about the history of this car?

[Flan]

Thanks Mate

Saidly i din't get the Cup shocks with it, Matt Wills kept them

Paul Put some shocks on it just to get me home with, Im sure they are 16v thats why the camber is 4deg. I need some Willy ones badly, Then i
can come out n play. lol

I don't think 16v shocks will fit the 2ltr setup...even just to get you home so i'm guessing you have another issue. Either that or they are but have been modified (i.e holes drilled out) to fit between the hub carrier and top mount. Can you not just ask?

Willy shox are about 50quid new each....you'll be able to nick the 172 cup springs though

[Flan]

Cheers Guys, They Are 16v, i compered them with my mates spares,

I couldn't tell the differance when i got it because the car had no Engine, Box and i took it home on my dads lorry,

Now i got it all together is clear, Spoke to paul n he has some Willy ones,

Thanks for all your help though, Sure i will be back on again askin another stupid question, lol :D

[KingStromba]

What engine does this have in it now?

Id check its a F7R, and get an inspection tbh

[Flan]

Na its An F7R

I brought a willy lump n fitted it into a valver, Then this shell came up so
i put the 1.8 back in the 16v, sold it to my mate and put the Willy lump back in a propper williams. Hopefuly it will be ready for the Sprint your all going to. Just ned a few parts to finish

Thanks Stuart :lol:

[KingStromba]

So you have 0057? And you bought a valver for a new bonnet?


I have the original bonnet from 0057 on my car at the moment. Haha. If you want it back let me know. Nice and shiney and painted now :wink:
