Yes I can make you a casing any width you like, but before you go down that route - you need to decide if you want the car to look right or handle properly? Adding 6" to the rear track will make the rear MUCH wider than the front - which might not be ideal! Would make more sense to fit some smaller arches :P

Yes maybe so on a Tarmac axle but I didn't realise the a axle is actually a 54" I need a Tarmac spec which Is 57" and I've had a measure up today and a 57" will fill the arches perfect!

Re: Danes mk2 escort Tarmac rally car build

little bit more progress this weekend ive managed to mount the dry sump tank and fabricate the bracket along with wrapping my exhaust manifold and also searching my local scrap yard for two corsa c power steering units for me and rob to give to matt to convert when hes ready also found a cheap and realiable single wiper motor to do away with the old motor and linkages as the old units are quite heavy and unreliable so i modded the bracket to fit. me and rob managed to find one in the end im over the moon with it it works great and we modded it to fit from original mounting points on the shell and also attacked it with the holesaw to make it even lighter.

Great work Dane mate

Wrap looks super neat. That wiper looks really cool and light, what's it's power like? Does it mount on the existing twin wiper frame mounts?

Dry sump tank top strap is nice as well, have you lined it under the strap to stop it rubbing, I've got some material you can have that i use on mine if you like, its very durable.

cheers mate

ive just fabricated the strap and that pic was just a mock up it just needs painting now and a hard wearing lining for inbetween the strap and tank to stop rubbing against the ali tank.

the wiper motor is mint has 2 speeds slow and fast and also has park. only thing we did was make 2 little brackets that mount from the heater duct and the side off the heater bubble from original mounting points looks neat and is well out of the way. also i couldnt help my self but attacking the bracket with the holesaw as it was a solid bracket. need to keep the weight down
