I have been a busy boy lately. Had two long days fabricating the rear beam from T45. Its away being blasted now so I can then NDT crack test it before painting next weeknd.
Front brakes are bled and hopefully might do a little drive in a week or two
Massive thanks to MK motorsport for my new bells and few random shoots.

I hope so. Cant wait to get it out.
Thanks for the comments on the welding. Has been fabricated from T45 and BS515 plate. All proper stuff and is very strong. Also wont fatigue over a period of time as it would if you were to use CDS or similar.
Will get some better pics later after it has been blasted ready for NDT crack detection

Thanks
trackfocused in ellesmere port.
Really do know their stuff, they race boxers and kit cars plus more. Couldnt highly reccomend them enough. They set get all the tyre data, suspension, etc etc and set the car to the settings suited to the style of venue and the driver. And offer on going tweeking with on the event support. and data logging if required to make changes.
