Don't worry, this beam is purely a test bed, I will bolt it all to the one that's already on the car once I'm happy with everything.Quote:

Once the drums and ARB are stripped off a standard Nova rear axle, there's not really a lot of weight to it. I reckon fabricating one from scratch might be more trouble than it's worth.
But if anyone thinks differently I'd be interested to hear other views.
Ive neve done it, but I really cant see it being too difficult to be fair.
For this season I've only got one more event lined up........Gurston Down on 12th September.Quote:

As yet I haven't decided which event to do.
I'm planning on a fairly major Winter rebuild/improvement programme, and then a wider range of events next year (funds permitting).
