For size perspective,they are sitting on a 12" floor tile.
After picture will be at the end of the week probably.

Will you be at VOC BKV this year? I'd love to run this set-up but need to find out if my wheels will fit over the brakes or how much spacing would be needed. Thomas.............

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.
