you should try to see it in real life then

Just did the trial fit of the rear brakes;









I'm pleased. Everything fits perfectly, the final weight saving is 3.1kg (per side), and the wheel is not sitting much further out than it was with the drum brakes.

Very nice !

I take it the Sprint C bodykit you have forsale is too heavy to put on this car ?

Would look awesome tho IMO

I haven't 100% ruled it out yet.......the wings and arches are not as heavy as I thought they would be.

But the bumpers are definitely 'heavy duty'.

The bigger question mark is deciding whether to 'wide arch' the car at all, or leave it looking like a standard Nova.

Colin, that is an excellent job. they look like they should all be like that

Thats a great result, lets hope the brake performance is what you expect. Does the car have a bias setup in it already?

Yes, the bias can be adjusted on the floor mounted pedal box. If the rear brakes do almost nothing I will be happy, it hardly needs anything on the back.

A couple more photos (on the test axle, not the final job!);

Is that the cleanest beam you had 'on stock' Colin? I suppose its function over form
