wow

Thanks Steven

I always thought group 5's looked good on minus'/smoothed minis. Don't see cosmic arches much but should look good too

Which group 5? I quite like the style where they have a flat edge (not a lip). Not keen on the curved style. Most of them mold into the seem though.

Yea, that's why i bought them, really like the retro style of them. Don't want a modern arch.

no worries, what are you going to do about the cut out for the seams in the cosmic arches ?

If i leave them bare i'll either leave it or stick something behind it and paint the front silver. I'f i paint them i'll just fibreglass/filler it.

Oh right, didn't realise haha. Should of stopped for a chat. Maybe next time ay!

Are you getting the hand made cosmic arches? Why not ask if you coul have them without the cut outs? Most arches don't have the cut out already in them anyway.

[steven]

he's got some NOS ones off of ebay the cosmic come with them already in

[kcchan]

Ahh, I remembered seeing jonny enquire about the ones in the traders area. We'll just have to see what happens I guess

[jonny f]

Yea, I got some NOS ones of eBay.

I have some of this on the way.

I was trying to find a block or 5mm think sheet of 60a (ish) poly to make some better bushes for between the shock to body on the rear coilovers. Found this stuff instead. It should be perfect. It means i can get rid of the little alloy spreader i had made and mold some poly directly into the shock mount. The poly will then be the spreader.

Can see it in this picture (i have made the turret bigger since this picture).

Looking superb mate, top work. How wide did you go on the wheels and what tyres are those?

Thanks Alan.

They are 10x6. A 3.5" inner and a 2" outer. As they are sandwich mount (meaning the billet center is between the inner and outer this adds an extra 0.5").

They tyres are yoko A032-r in 165/70/10

[Alan Carruthers]

Thanks Jonny, well that's good news as pretty much what I've got and as yours look so good I'm hoping mine will too! Amazing how much the A032R's sidewall stretches in relation to other tyres. My plan is to get some slicks and super wide FR wheels as well but... bills to pay!
