Look what i got back after work on friday.

Then i sanded all the faces and washed it all out, this is how it looks now with its new shells.


Well today (sunday) was the first time I could make a good start on the engine, so now its all set to drop in when i can get the car on 4 wheels to get down to the house.
As i was at it i made a carb heatsheld.

thanks simon.

It is the first one to be made by Kad in house what you think.

Nice beam, Iv seen a couple of the KAD beams on other mini's. Arn't they a modified Minispares ally beam? Certainly a beautiful setup.. bet its light!

[mad mk1]

Like i sad mate its the first made in house setup there is some bits made better and so on.
the sub was 23kg all made up with no wheels and the new setup is 17.60 for the beam,arm,disc setup

[mad mk1]

That should be 36kgs for the sub lol

[benpopham]

Nice saving

[R.S.P]

looks fantastic and a great weight saving, and with the arms and discs should make a good unsprung weight saving.


Great car

[CaptainBland08]

[mad mk1]

yes i did mate, I sent the arms back to get the cone bit milled off and the disc set up was moted when i was at it.
