Thanks for all the compliments chaps!
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!

That looks just the dogs.
Keep going and keep posting the pics.
Are you going to use this on the street,do a liitle hot hatch hunting maybe?
Just a thought do you think that 235's are going to be man enough for all that power going out the back because I think that once that is out you will have a problem staying off the loud pedal.
A new set of rubber every week methinks
:lol:
