Bones - I made up templates with some cheap crappy tube then took them to Andy Robinson and he bent them up in the good stuff with his mandrel bending machine, very nice and better than the hydraulic jack and hammer method!

hmmmmm, Steering wise I have a Jack Knight(?) rack waiting to go in as for climbing frames in cars surely that can't be a good idea!!!! took a pic of my engine in its underwear for all you v8 pervs out there http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r205/wilber4rce_2006/IMG_3185.jpg http://i145.photobucket...

Good luck!

Its a ford 9" custom made (ker-ching) to my width requirements by Andy Robinson. It is going to be mounted on a four link. Wheel wise I am using 15" BM wheels and plan on using a 235 60 15 mickey thompson street radial as I want to keep the car as discreet as possible - I love sleeper cars!

thanks for the compliments! It is a mild steel SFI 25.4 cage (drag race spec), I have had a lot of help from Andy Robinson who supplied the spec, tube and axle housing. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r205/wilber4rce_2006/braced9.jpg I bought the car as an mot failure for 130 quid! the engine is ...
