kik1.6se Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 W I will be at Harogate I'll try not to cover the car with too much drool. It does look superb in the photo's and I'm looking forward to seeing it in real life. Kirk Quote
Bazzer Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Interesting pictures of the diff Barry. I was going to do the corner gusseting like you and bring removable bars (so I could still get the diff out) straight up from the rear of the diff cage to behind the seat belt turrets. I take it your bars comming up pick up on the lower rear of the diff cage ? rather than the upper rear ? Was there a design reason for having them at an angle or was it just packaging ? where are you based ? I am in Hampshire. Bazzer Quote

Fat Albert Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Barry With your consent I'll email Richard Hammond a link to this thread... with 120 bhp more than Clarkson's GT40 and less than half the weight this is just the the sort of thing that would REALLY p*** off JC especially as he wouldn't be able to fit in it And I'd love to see just how long the lap would take Quote
scott beeland Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Top job Barry. Looks like it's been worth all the hassle. I'm sure it'll go reasonably well Quote
