Did you keep a kanji plate (or similar) for the buggy Jase?

*** Update ***

I know i didn't update last week but have been continuing with the brake/hub modifications and finally got them finished and installed today Big Grin

Welded the original holes in the mini hubs.....
[Image: DSC01373.jpg]

and ground off......
[Image: DSC01374.jpg]

Took flippin ages to drill the holes as the hub work hardened after being welded and cooled down, but i got there....

[Image: DSC01387.jpg]

More new parts, new CV's......
[Image: DSC01386.jpg]

New top/bottom joints and Wheel bearings.......
[Image: DSC01376.jpg]

Roughly put together.....
[Image: DSC01387.jpg]

Then got up to TGT today to swap over the old setup with the new sexyness.

Old drum setup......
[Image: DSC01393.jpg]

starting to come off.....
[Image: DSC01394.jpg]

and finally all off.....
[Image: DSC01395.jpg]

All the parts where as good as new and never really used but the new setup is so much nicer.

Sexy new setup installed......
[Image: DSC01402.jpg]

Looks so much nicer and hopefully will help it stop quicker also, they are a single floating piston type but the have willwood pads so should be good. Just need to sort a handbrake cable now and get some braided brake lines made. The old setup was alot wider than the new setup but that not an issue as the back was flippin wide anyway, its still 150mm wider on either side at the rear.

Also knocked up a exhaust mounting bracket....
[Image: DSC01375.jpg]

fitted on the gearbox.....
[Image: DSC01398.jpg]

and with the exhaust in place.....
[Image: DSC01400.jpg]

Im busy now with other things for the next 4 weeks so won't be able to get up to TGT to continue the work for a while. Rather than leave it for this long im taking Friday 6th off work to do some more Smile

Need to finish off the fuel cell parts before then and the plan is to spend 1-2 days welding the fuel cell, catch tank and making the 2 exhaust systems. Will also have the intercooler by then so if there is time we will do the pipework and get the intercooler mounted. May even get the seat rails fitted if there is time.

Comments always welcome people Big Grin
