Ok goofy, I hope this works, first time posting pics, there is a black metal bracket that screws to the back side of the vent (2screws) then speaker screws to that bracket

Cheers, they look good - I'm going to say they aren't OEM
There's some slight cutting of the plastic bottom left, and the bottom left screw seems the wrong orientation compared to the 'tab'

But that's very helpful for working out how I can create one.

If you could snap a couple pics of the bracket by itself that'd be cool.

I bought 12mm studs for the rear, never got them pressed in though. Can grab the part number if you need. Pretty sure you'd have to pull the axles out to put them in.
The black alto has 12mm on the front already as it has swift stuff I think. I can't remember if I found out the right numbers to redo the stock front hubs.

So on this (end) build it has swift struts, hubs and brakes
I wish to use my fancy brand new stock struts - but the bottom mount holes are different to the swift;
Is there another Suzuki hub/brake setup that has the alto / mb spec strut holes?

No idea, the setup came with the last RSR I bought,
Think the disc rotor matches SF310/413, SA413

231 diam, 17mm thick

mkay, still trying to put the import F6A back together - which will go in this white one for a while.

Existing turbo has a hole in it

So have to fix that to use that one,
Spare F5B turbo is a bit suspect, bearings probably bad;
'New' Hitachi i've had for years is probably fake, and front housing hits the oil warmer as its bigger;
Or could use the one from the black F6A

Decisions  :NFI:

Hitachi (non) fitment pics

ImageImage
ImageImage

Also on that list above;
Import F6A - VZ14 9011 26 220B 13900-64D00
Hitachi - HT07-5 8Y21
Black F6A - VZ25 9505 15 169B 13900-65F01
First F5B - 8907 17154B

Hitachi is biggest, however oddly the biggest front wheel of the rest is the F5B


Benny: 3 Cars, 4 Engines, 5 Turbos

EDIT: I wonder if the Cappa oil filter mount would fit the chassis - assuming I could tap holes in the block for it decently.

Turbo housing still at 'mates' waiting to be modified - 2months or so now

Engine still not back together.
New control arms here
New rack ends here
Found some tie rods I bought eons ago

Almost bought some KYB struts from japan for this one, ended up finding some SA items on ebay.. $70 for the pair!
Means I have to play with the hub holes though.


Not enjoying driving it currently, front end is wobbling and knocking all the time.

EDIT: Anyone certain whether Alto springs will fit the Swift struts?
I have new Alto ones coming soon, so I'll have a Alto set spare.
