This is going to be immense dude! Can't wait to see it painted

 

[tooley]

The painting has started!

 

[phillll]

Wowwwweeee, that looks ace!

 

[pegliobaglio]

Oooooh shiny

 

[tooley]

So,

Front frame has been modified and braced / stitch welded. Dan Joyce (friend of mine) moved the steering rack mounts forward 25/30mm (cant remember ill have to measure haha). I then had the frame strengthened. Its now been dropped off for paint.

 

[pegliobaglio]

What's the benefit of moving the steering rack dude?work all looks spot on, look forward to more shiny gold bits

 

[tooley]

With my drop knuckles at the front I need to correct the bump steer and ackerman angle. You can buy offset rack spacers which is a cheaper option than modifying the frame but they snap and then break the rack.
