hi peskett
great build,im on with my build but come up with a slight problem,the engine sits very close to the bulk head and wondered if on your build do the drive shafts sit in line with the wheel hubs or are they sat at an angle?
cheers
deanios

[charie t]

mine sit slightly forward of the hubs

[Deanios]

thanks for that charie t i thought there was something major wrong,it still needs adjusting and moving about to get the right position,

[charie t]

I just got mine as close as possible to the bulkhead, and mounted it on the standard engine mounts
If I was to cut the bulkhead I could probably fit the radiator in the front

hi charie t
ive looked and had a measure,my gearbox is roughly about 5mm away from the subframe main mounting section, the inlet is touching the bulkhead so a little adjustment needed there,
will start uploading some pics soon,
do you have any of your build that i could have a look at?

[charie t]

No, don't have a build diary. I built it to drive it.
I gave myself a budget of £500 to build a standard front turbo k sleeper was all
I do have picture as a guide for any issues I get in the future
