        Whould like to see action shots of both of them together you dont see many anymore all crashed used for NHR in the 90's or rusted away.

        Like your hubs and calipers

        If your interested I have a stainless 4into1 manifold that will need moding as it came off a 7 style car I bought another one from the US and used that so I dont need it PM if your interested.

            The ali hubs are from rally design so a good cheap weight saving.

            I bought the calipers from a guy who had used them on a radical race car. The fronts are spot on but the rears are also 4 pots so will be a bit of an overkill. i used them because they are lighter than the fiesta calipers i have on my escort so hopefully i will just dial them out on the bias box and proportioning valve.

              That looks the absolute b****cks Nick. From a golden era of hot rods.

              Below is the ultimate in my opinion.

                    Im running AP Princess 4 pots up front and cosworth rears manual bias adjuster (standard pedal box for now) but a like the idea of sheding more whieght.

                              So i have finally got round to finishing most of the little jobs that needed doing. Hopefully it will go on the rollers in the next couple of weeks and then a test session, probably at brands. After all the hard work im looking forward to getting out there racing but it seems i have missed most of the qmn this year and there is only a couple of semsec meetings left as well.

                                Great stuff! Never too late, still plenty of racing left this year. Hope to see you out there soon, and hopefully join you in A bit of QMN too.
