Update Wooooop wooop :) :thumb:
I cant see pics at work...
Wide and low, nice lol Hope it still looks like a Nova when you've finished.
That's huge!
Awesome.
Not really got many photos. Floors been cut out, tie bars are fixed in. Floor plates been made for the ap floor mounted pedals. Brackets been made for steering column. Brackets been laser cut for dry sump tank.
Tonys made a start on making the arches ready to take moulds off. These have to be taken up a few inch and widened trying to keep some of the lines.
Will try and get some more photos up.
Those arches are somethine else :cool: :) :) :)
Rep awarded to a top update, keep at it Ste :thumb:
Yummy. Very expensive.Quote:

I need to get hold of some slicks though to make sure they fit in the arches.
Looking good ste.

They will be taken back in. One of the photos shows the rear coming back to meet the rear of the car. They have had to have a few inch taken out the midle due to it being so low. Moulds will then be taken and them laid up in carbon.
i just made a BIG mess in my pants!:d i cant wait to see the finished product, this will be awesome!Quote:

As i mentioned though i had to vibro etch them due to the bearings they supply not being a brilliant fit i will also be bearing locking them in.

I made the allighnment spacers my self to fit inside the knuckle and bearing.
If you want i can meaure them and post them up.
I saw you got the housing from McGill, it's the bit that sticks up I'm after (I'm rubbish with the names of things lol)... The bit that's being clamped with the hex bolt. Yes please mate, any measurements would be a great help. Cheers.
There the bits i made myself, when i get chance will draw them up with measurments for you.
