thats one sexy car chimp
lol, i was drilling them out with a normal drill bit. i wanted to get out as much of the weld as possible so i didnt distort the manta axle much, or the chevette bracket.
i havent yet welded the chevette bracket to the manta axle, as i wanted to bolt it up, befor i welded it and its a good job i did as it needed moving lol. it also bolts on :)
lol Well you failed on both fronts there then, it looks like you ripped them off,Quote:

got these 45's today, am over the moon. need to get a few bits for them, might rebuild them, not sure yet.
getting smaller trumpets and for 80 quid i cant complain. also got a sweet idea for a air box, now uploading a pic....
bargain mate. i would say it would be rude not to rebuild them with how cheap the kits are

yeh good point burgo, like 20 quid each a kit isnt it? i need to get some of the fuel pipe fittings and bolts, and some other small bits i think
and the carbon airbox above is oval. and i will drill some sweet holes into it and itll be lovely
