    Next was tie bar mounts, I had been running rose jointed Toe Bars but I think this is what caused the cracked front crossmember. Coupled with wanting a little more comfort, I decided to go back to standard tie bar mounts with Poly bushes.

    This ment having to modify the original mounts to lower them and clear the F28 Gearbox.





    Sent for powder coating




    All built up with a set of poly bushes.

    I have bought a set of Gaz coilovers so thought id best strengthen up the shocks mounts on the rear beam.

    Once done , the beam went off for powder coating

    I gave Gaz all the details of the car and told them I wanted a fast road set up. They done the rest. Looking forward to seeing the difference in handling and comfort.

    New discs arrived this week so cracked on with building the rear beam up.

    All new bearings, shoes and pads.
