-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

could do one better fella . drop me a pm with how many you need and ill post you some



ok , the parts are flowing thick and fast at the moment , seems like every day brings the postie back to my door


first off a big thanks to fudgey , posted me out another set of compbrake eccentric top mounts for the rears , no pics , but you know what they look like ,


and mark @ mk motorsport had these deliverd ,



my rear upright hub packs

the press in pack with holds two standard rear wheel bearings ,




and the lurrrvely machined top hat cover



and the pack in the cap ,




so big thanks to mark at mk ( he must be getting sick of hearing that now lol )


will fit the races into the packs , packs into uprights over the weekend ,

Looking good beef,

What was the reason to go standard bearing over grpa bearing and sleeved stubs? i assume the cost of the bearing itself

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

no not really mate ,

marks offerd me the bearings but as i already had my rwd ones new i didnt see the point ,

also im not particularly sold on the idea of sleeving the hub flange ,

think these are more than up to the task ,

see how we get on ,

M K

iTrader: (9)

I agree there more than up to the task, i just prefer the 1 piece bearing pack like the grp a as there easier than separate races etc, mine are the same as yours with an adapter but if i get some more uprights from mark i think il go grp a

good stuff all the same

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

its two ways to skin a cat i guess ,


and considering mine isnt for track use , the extra strength the grp a's prob give over stock isnt nessacary , could understand on that point

hi beefy i think they will be ok standard ,just wont last quite as long because of you running a wheel nearly twice as wide as standard so twice the leverage if your running a deep dish but you wont have problems

thanks mark

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

if it becomes an issue when the cars built , it wouldnt be that hard to swap ,



lol not like id need new uprights or anything lol

If its anything like all other old fords it'll be in the garage being repaired more than it's being driven.

stigger_darlo

are ya still takin it down to classic ford beef. im goin down and wouldnt mind seein this in the flesh so to speak

dojj

iTrader: (3)

if you can get it to classic ford then all is good

if you can't then you've still got ford fair to "unveil" it

assuming a baby doesn't complicate things in the meantime

are you going to do a book of the build in the same way as rod has done one of his car?
