For a guy with your kind of budget Chris...anything is possible...
How about some LMP ones like the Epsilon team use, cast Titanium.....
Just think,you could have a couple more pints and offset the weight by using lighter uprights...

Dear Francis --I don't think you're getting enough sleep these days  -- well, you know that Lola spyder aero screen you sent with Craigs (RCR Aust.)stuff many months ago. Ummm, it doesn't fit

The RHD screen suits the car much better
After a lot of agonising over the "930" clutch slave apparatus, I've finally concocted this-- as prototype-- a bit more refinement and it will be billet machined from Al. simple, easy to attach and fits RCRs . 
We had to do something with the steering arm as well

I can only agree with you Richard 
Stevo --- Rust! Queensland's humid weather is detrimental to all things iron , so an Aluminum replacement item had to be produced and hopefully counteract some bump steer

Looking good Chris...
The trans support looks a good bit beefier than the one I made for my Forty..
Could you show some close-ups of the mount and attachment points?

Damn --I new you'd ask that Randy,--- The main "hoops" are 1" tube with threaded plugs welded in each end --bolts thru the upper cross brace and bolts to a lower cross brace between the inner lower A arm posts. best I could come up with out further procrastination.
Slave cyl. mount for "930" clutch :- | |

Thanks for posting the close-ups Chris...
I've been scheming on a method to tie the two lower control arm bolts together "behind" the heim/rose joint... Looks like you've done a tie-bar of sorts just in front too...
Many thanks...

Very nice single rod solution. If I'm unhappy for some reason with the cable setup on the 930 that I'm using, I intend to copy yours... | |
