Slightly of topic but with all the wisdom here can someone tell me how much different a LHD bulkhead/firewall is from a RHD? I presume they are either the same or only slightly different in order to change from lhd to rhd.
Where the bars that go above the doors and onto the roll bar the part that fixes onto the roll bar is differnt, hard to explain but may be able to get some pics. I have a massive box here of new spider bits from irmscher i bought a few years ago. I got some spares that were differnt again to what I have here.
If your missing any bits let me know, the box is massive. Basicly had a list of bits for 1 and 2 euros each and I just basicly told Tom, Yeah 2 of each lol
Steering rack is the main thing where it goes through the bulk head. I didnt convert my car but it isnt hard to do.Quote:

Thanks for the offer but I don't think I need anything,
I think it's all complete, I was just being nosey as I'm on
my first spider and still learning the details
+1 mark:thumb:
I'd probably cut a scuttle panel out of a rhd shell and replace it on the new shell.
Back to the topic, I love the look of that sport your rebuilding, especialy the side skirts,did the sports come with NOVA 1.3 badges?
Did you buy Jenny Perry's?Quote:

Back on topic.....
Update for today
The 4 pots used to rub on the inside of the wheel, so I've had some new brackets machined to mount the calipers out from the wheel and using larger discs for more stopping power.
The old discs are 256mm, but we will be running Meriva 280mm when finished.
Old and new brackets
