Not one to put a dampener on recent updates but I am just wondering what you are going to do for the front brakes, I know that you have re-drilled the hubs to 5 stud but looking at the bolt holes where you would normaly mount the escort discs on the hubs it looks like the new stud possitions are far too close and will break parts of the alloy away.
I am well impressed with all of the work that has gone into this car mate and I love the gearbox cross member, we are all waiting for the finnished car and the first video of it running and as you are getting very close to the stage all I can say is keep up the great work.

fostersice · 30-12-2009, 04:56 PM

today was spent cutting the boot floor out so i can get the exhaust cans nice and high as i didnt want to have them sitting down at the back and cutting the rear valance to take the twin 4" pipes
welded up the down pipe and started on the T-piece ready to fun the 3" pipe down both sides of the car

tomorrow will be sent running the rest of the pipe work fitting the rear cans and making up a front towing eye

royRS · 30-12-2009, 09:19 PM

car looks superb!!!
but wich propshaft do you use?

fostersice · 30-12-2009, 09:35 PM

I got the prop from pig it's a t5 to atles
but I need to have it made longer or buy a longer one

cossie daz · 31-12-2009, 08:40 AM

fostersice · 31-12-2009, 05:47 PM

There are 2 designs of these top mounts. Andy is correct in saying that the weight of the car shouldn't be supported on the circlip, but he was wrong to say that the mounts were upside down when the car went to be painted.

From the photo below, the top mounts are upside down - look at the circlip.

CHANGE THEM ROUND.

fostersice · 06-01-2010, 06:04 PM

Come on lol
are they up or down....

jon@work · 06-01-2010, 06:41 PM

Imagine what the weight of the car is doing. Effectively, it's trying to push the bearing upwards. The only thing that's stopping the bearing from moving upwards, with the top mounts fitted as they are, is the circlip (ignoring friction). If you turn the top mounts the other way up, then the bearing will be prevented from moving by the lip on the top mount.

jon@work · 06-01-2010, 06:50 PM

The other sort of mounts Andy was thinking of are as in the pic below. Notice the 2 recesses to tap the bearing out using a punch - ie the circlip is on the other side. Compare these to your top mounts - the circlip grooves are on different sides, meaning that IF you had the ones shown below, then the "lumpy bit" should indeed be fitted upwards.

fostersice · 06-01-2010, 06:51 PM

I spent a day swaping them around last time lol

RETRO_AL_ · 06-01-2010, 06:53 PM

Can you take a better picture of the mounts
