Welcome to the forum Maurice.

I recognise the car from the pod must have been the early 90's

Thanks for the wheel nuts and washers they fit spot on.

Oops, I think the spacer goes inside the pinion support. Looks like I'm buying a new pinion support

Which would you recommend I do go for, a spacer or spend a little more and get a pinion support?

I suppose if I build it for more hp than I have now it will be sorted for later on

Already got the dial gauge

Roo Man's Room / 9" coupler

« on: September 27, 2013, 11:17:14 AM »

Got a stock 9" center that I tried to fit a strange engineering coupler, but it must be shorter than a standard yoke (mine never came with one) so it won't reach the bearings or maybe even the front seal. Do I need some sort of spacer or a different pinion support

Is there a guide how to set these up? Fancy having a go myself

Looks great.

Maybe taller tires on the rear they look small due to the height of the rear wing

How have you mounted your lap harness belts. Where I want to weld the fastening plate to the chassis the webbing is almost vertical, but to get it more at 45deg it would mount almost the center of my back where the shoulder mounts are.
