Yeah, CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motorsport) have changed the regs to allow the extra front brace if the front leg has a bend in it

Going to do the Castrol Livery as accurate as possible but different sponsors

Going to try to copy your rear spoiler too.

More info on the cage -

Windscreen Pillar Reinforcement: For National Championship and National Series level Race, Rally and Off
Road competitions (and recommended in other competitions)
(i) A windscreen pillar reinforcement member shall be fitted on each side of the front roll bar if dimension “A” is
greater than 200mm (refer Drawing J-17).
(ii) The windscreen pillar reinforcement member may be bent on condition that it is straight in side view and
that the angle of the bend does not exceed 20°.
(iii) Its upper end shall be less than 100mm from the junction between the front (lateral) roll bar and the
longitudinal (transversal) member (refer Drawing J-62 for the measurement).
(iv) Its lower end shall be within 100mm of the front mounting foot (refer Drawing J-62 for the measurement). If
this reinforcement intersects the door bars, it must be split in several parts.

Makes sense ...

Did the castrol car run with the big wing...or are you mixing to get the best...cheers mark

[Matt75]

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

No, it didn't run the wing but I do like it although I'm not sure I can run it in the class of racing I want to run in. Just sprints to begin with

42mm chokes? is it a 2.3? 42's are big for a Pinto.

Apologies, they are 40mm. This is a touch over 2ltr but has extensive work done and should have around 180 - 190hp hopefully going on other builds my man has done

Got some front end stuff today. I'm going to go to rod ends instead of tie rods so had these pins made up so i can adjust for bump steer. The black dealies are the adapters for the steering arm (M14) to the rod end 1/2").

Cool project Matt! Thanks for sharing it with us.

May i just ask if you made these pins yourself? Or bought them somewhere?

Im searching for the exact same items myself for my mk2.

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Probably a similar spec to my pinto, I'm using 40mm chokes in my 196hp pinto

[Matt75]

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Nice, Don't think I'll get that big a figure but my current engine is a knackered standard one with about 80hp so I'm very much looking forward to the increase in power with a change of powerplant to happen down the track with more power

Hey Mate,

I got mine from this guy - http://www.alachi57.com/2.html

Although I am thinking of drilling out the arms and just using bolts as there is not a lot of room to adjust up or down for Bump Steer. Time will tell.

Cheers

Thanks,

Do you mean that the pins you got are to short? Or is it just that the rosejoint fouls on the arb or tensionstrut when turning the wheel?
