Hows this coming along, got it all together yet? I'm anxious to see the finished productclitti wrote:I left the hub original and redrilled the discs.When the disc was fitted directly.But now i have the spacer i could bolt that to the hub and then bolt the spacer to the hub.See what the engineers shop says about it. Spacers came today btw:D
Before picture.
For size perspective,they are sitting on a 12" floor tile.

Re: Uprating brakes and suspension!!!
Got them in the end!! Problems with the courier people.It only took 4 1/2 months to deliver them.!!! I'd love to show the car to everyone but in its present state it would'nt do it justice.Its still being fabricated so is quite a mess atm.Patience is key to perfection. Rose jointed rear link bars and panhard rod next so i can fit the rear beam with disc conversion on.

Bit of both probably.I got a staight cut 5 speed and an LSD and a hot 2 litre to go in it too.!!But thats the icing on the cake.I'm still mixing the flour and butter at the moment and getting ready to put the eggs in.
