Coming along nicely mate,
How come there was so little camber and adjustment on the rear then to have to mod the cases so much, as long as you have achieved the desired results ay, is there any slight adjustment left via the link arms to tweak when you have the geo set up
Looking forward to seeing it come together now, once rolling your well on your way

the mk3 shell is alot narrower than a sierra so we cut the strut 2 kick the wheel in then adjusted the link arms 2 suit!
ians goin2 mill the hud so the shaft/wheel will sit in arch more!
thanx jay

got top hats an hubs 4 u but dont need them yet m8!
#661
What's stopping you moving the entire wheel hub corner further in ? Or are u governed by the length of the drive shaft bud ?
It's a issue we found when mocking up a wheel , but as we're going with a different diff it's going to require new shafts so not an issue length wise ,
Really coming along nice to see everyone's projects moving forward !
