    Fab looks fine, however since you are sharing this publicly I can only advise redoing the chassis mounts to AT LEAST run the 1/2" bearings in the vertical not (as you have it) horizontal plane.

    Generally people really dislike such input for two reasons:-

    1] Who the f is this guy & what would he know?
    2] The work is now done & f redoing it

    So I'll just speak from real world experience.

    I've broken a VERY similar RJ arrangement this year, under load at just 70MPH; granted it was during braking, but if you're pushing 200MPH this would not be anyway strong enough imo.

    I now run these 3/4" bearings & have made sure the load runs through the round section of the bearing, as they were intended when designed. (Can only report good things).

    I’ll certainly raise this with Ben and see what he thinks, can you send me some pics and details on the setup you used and broke please?

    As you can see the custom billet rear hubs (not 100% finished) from VauxPro are now on and Ben has completed the rear axle.


    Very happy with how the rear end has come together

    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.
