Ahh OK. You need something really small and lightweight then.

Looking good must be very light, a lot lighter than my set up, golf calipers and rover discs
It's definitely made the rear beam a lot lighter!
I don't really need the back brakes to do very much, so I could afford to pare it down as far as I dared. The whole car is around 530kg, and most of the time it runs for no more than a minute or so, so the brakes don't get too hot.
For a circuit racer, rally or road car I wouldn't dream of going so small and light.

A while back I decided to relocate the fuel tank from under the rear seat area and get it to the front of the car (or get a different tank to go in the engine bay somewhere).
Fuel tank removed;
And with a bit of modifying of outlets, filler cap, brackets, it will sit quite neatly here;
Just need to learn to TiG weld aluminium now.
And find homes for the pumps, swirl pot etc., along with piping it all up nicely. I think a smaller swirl pot may be required;

I would have thought the rear would be better for weight distribution? What's the benefit of having it up front?
