Nice work Mathieu,

Did you get my email about manual calibration?

 

[kilimats]

Thx guys, coming along nicely, received the LOCTITE 545 yesterday, woot

Got your email Will, I'll do a manual adjustment, using the automatic feature might damage a tire/fender/axle i think, agreed :beer:

 

[jimothy cricket]

great build so far :thumbup:

 

[Jetta11J]

awesome shots on this build!! keep up the good work!

 

[kilimats]

Driver side done, I kept the sensor closer to the center this time to prevent tire/sensor damage when turning

 

[kilimats]

Since i've got no welding skills nor tools, I've decided to tap the hole (tap size 5/16-18 NC with 1/4" drill bit)

Added some thread locker and black adhesive sealant, that thing won't come off now :thumbup:

last shipment due next week, woot :beer:

Trimmed the fender liner (a little too high as shown below). I used two washers to keep the sensor mounting base flat. Pictured below is the suspension fully extended and fully compressed

 

[OffLineR]

Good work :thumbup:
That censor travel distance seems short though.

 

[fasttt600]

it's short, but it will still work the same. Better to be to short, rather than to long and snap a sensor.
Keep up the progress:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[OffLineR]

Sensitivity will be low but you are right.

Intuitively this statement makes good sense, but the reality with our sensors and the e-Level system is that as long as you have over 1" of travel, you will not see a noticeable difference in accuracy or performance. This is because the sensor itself puts out an infinitely accurate output by using non-contacting magnetic technology. The e-Level controller will then calibrate to the lower sensor travel and span the total travel to 100%. So definitely staying on the safe side of sensor travel is better than over extending the things

thanks for the clarification Reno, I'm glad I didn't waste time

Rear Driver side done, last sensor picture promised

EDIT: OffLineR was right, the rear sensor travel is too short. After doing the auto calibration on page 2 the rocker switch showed a warning about that. I'll have to move the ball further in the rear. I'll post picture :beer:

Wow.
That's awesome :thumbup:

Some Exo Compressor mount and rolling action today, FUN !

Note: I re-arranged the compressor feet using a few washers to line up the holes and keep the EXO mount+compressor balanced (both side equally weighted)

 

[kilimats]

Mounting board - CHECKED

Second Skin Damplifier Pro done eace:

 

[Señor BigJuts]

how much of that did you pick up? and where?

I should apply some while the truck setup is getting redone.

I used 9 sheets of 1.67 sq. feet each ($100 CAD total) locally picked up at Hotrod Corner in Surrey BC,

check out the dealer page on the secondskin website :thumbup:

 

[kilimats]

another test fit before drilling and screwing. Also added an insulation foam layer on Compressor/tank vertical board

 

[Santi]

This is the kind of build-ups people need to do, with lots of descriptions and pictures!!

Keep it up!
