Re: Sunbeam stage rally car...............

This is gorgeous, you just made me want a sunbeam!

One question, whats the threaded flange for inside the fully-floating-stub for on the axle? Calipers?

Yeah, they are flanged for a varying choice of caliper brackets. They are a new development from Fostek engineering.

Thanks for all the kind comments, hopefully I will start bolting some shiny bits on at the weekend.....................

Then threw some front suspension at her, the suspension is an exact replica of the works set up.................

Hi, sorry it's taken so long to reply..........

The front Suspension came from Jim Little, he calls his company a Little bit sideways if you google it. To be honest, it fairly expensive, but there was a guy on the ASOC forum selling the same kit unused for a considerable saving, I almost bought it as a spare set. 2.2 rack but Corsa power steering.

Oh yeah, the axle "Toe correction kit" as they are known came from Phil and Mick Squires.

Re: Sunbeam stage rally car...............

Hi Sunbmw, What width is the axle, (half shaft flange to half shaft flange), to fit those arches?

Cheers
