This will give the most clearance for wheels and tyres, as the mounting of the sleeves is usually below the rim/tyre line. If you go without the keeper/tender spring the bottom spring plate can end up located above the tyre and a wider rim can be used. If a keeper spring is used, you loose about 15mm clearance to the tyre as the lower platform is moved under the rim/tyre line. One benifit of using the keeper spring concept:- Call it a "second spring" and you can play around with this spring rate. It can give you a smooth street ride to absorb the cats eyes on the road but when loaded up under track conditions closes up letting the main spring take over. I added a keeper spring to my TA-22. To keep my rims I had to space out the hubs. This also gave me the reason for my brake choice. Welding varies. Do not just spot weld. I have two sets of struts. The first welded by Brian Dunbar at Neal Bates' Workshop in Canberra. He welded about 90% in three sections. The second set by Ross Commons of Develish racing in Queanbeyan, he welded 100% circle. Comes down to quality of weld. Both Brian and Ross have been doing this stuff for years, so trust a good welder/fabricator to do the right thing.
