Where is Moonhopper now.....
Where is Moonhopper now.....
I had a hand in setting up the air system to raise and lower the suspension on Moon Hopper a coupla years back, and I understand someone here owns it now. If you want a hand to get this up and running again, let me know.
No matter the problem, the answer is always give it more gas.......

Cheers, I will leave it up to him, as he may want to leave it original, or may have done it himself by now.

Thats me

Yep i do have moonhopper now. Old chassis and cage are now obsolete because I decided to build new ones to fit the FWD engine and gbox in nicer. Its a shame that ive cut up all of Tonys work but I should have just built one from scratch. It would have been much easier, and up to what I want to do with it. But lesson learnt
Would be handy to get a handle on the whole setup from someone in the know

It can indeed. Pics will have to wait a couple of weeks until its back and rolling again

Re: Where is Moonhopper now.....
No problem, I will work out when I can come down that suits us both, and we can go from there. On-board air is the best option too, it saves the weight of a dive tank, something I couldn't convince Hamish of. Hamish is the bloke who owned it when I set the air system up. It really isn't that hard to do, it just requires the correct air valve.
