    Yea bazza it's the full custom cages t45 cage, and it's not going to be anywhere near as nice as the work that's gone into yours, would love to tub my rear arches but I think I'm just going to put turrets in as its already had the cage put into it,

    just a shame who ever fitted the cage drilled holes in the roof to weld the cage up rather than dropping it through the floor to give the room,

    oh well, been looking for a fibreglass roof but I can't see me finding one, so I'll have to steel top it instead,

    admiitaly I prefer standard arches but they came with the shell and the work they've done to the rears, extending the tubs out it would be a shame to get rid so they are staying

    quafie quick rack and epas may be a winner thou, will see how I feel about it if I can find some decent wheels, everything I've seen seems to be et15, and I don't think I'll have the cash for new for a while
    The point on the tyre, that it 'twists on' when steered. Google is the best thing.

    I will be running a quaife quick rack and epas.

    Scrub radius seems complicated for me at this time in the morning,

    hopefully get some more pics later, trying to find some standard let mounts which is proving more difficult than conversion mounts at this moment in time

    Nice t45 as well, helps keep weight down a bit. If you're Looking for turrets I got mine for like £70 from Motorsport tools.
    shame about the roof sure it could be patched up ok though?

    I wasn't aware you could by turrets off the shelf, that's good news, I recall an old member on here used to make them or he would have stt, but he's not been on here in a while now,

    you have used these haven't you? "Group 4 Escort Round Turrets mk1 mk2 grp4 rally works"

    I do have a roof for it to replace just waiting for it to be collected as its up north, my panal guy said he'll try and repair the roof 1st thou but then I've got a spare skin if it gets ruined with removal aswell.

    Thing is the cage is sat up against the holes they've cut in the roof as they've drilled them so they could weld the cage,

    just had a hunt through photobucket and I should in theory have a f28 front mount from when I bought my f28 but that was probably 10 years ago now give or take a couple years,

    ive work on the nova in two garages in that time so finding it is going to be the problem,

    cheers for the heads up bazza will order some of the turrets payday

    This should be good; imo remake the bottom arms & rear beam so you're not fcuking bearings after 5000 miles.
