Marc Sheridan drilled the new hangers perfectly and it all seems bang on with the rear hangers hanging straight ..As with all these stories there is a negative rear flexible brake line is like a guitar string and the propshaft is to short but this I knew would happen ..Now we can order new slicks and move forward again ..we seemed to be back to sideways photos which I am sorry for ..
Mark is another one of the good guys we have in this club.
It's all coming together nicely Pete.

Just a tip as you may not have this issue but ideally you need the rear shackles to be angled rearward. There's a lot of inherent rise using caltracs, too much and you'll top out the spring which induces wheel hop. DAMHIK

Seems strange after all these years and hours spent in the garage ,it’s done bar the shouting..Propshaft is being fabricated as we speak ,correct red door seals on there way with the door lock buttons ..Need to sort out the rear flexible brake hose but that can wait ..I am also waiting for the V5 which hopefully is on its way ..So yea it’s done I guess

Parcel shelf Is a pain with a roll cage ,and I wanted it so it can like all the rest of the interior be removable for weight loss if racing gets serious ..Hardboard base (be a liar if i told you I got it right first time ) but it tidies up the shelf nicely ..
