    Steel mono builders

    Gox run is only 20 pcs. Göran offers steel greenhouse for spaceframe -model too. If my memory serves me well, it`s with original dimensions. I`m afraid he isn`t happy to sell spare parts for DIY, and maybe he isn`t mr. speedy, too :blank: But ask, then U know :)

    Anybody recognize these brakes ?

    Front calibers looks very much 2wd cossie ones, but they are propably from bimmer (in -87 M6 i saw those when i built one), there is small diffirencies in caliber casting. Self locking pad rods and squeel spring are similare as cossies.

    RCR CV Joint Dimensions

    It`s not big problem. Make holes oval shape in milling cutter, but don`t drill them bigger if you have any doubt that they`ll go thru the wall. Many competition CV`s are lathed (? dunno right word) for smaller OD to lighten it. Bolt holes are partially open (like in RS500 GrA). There isn`t much...

    GT40-kitcar streetlegal in EU?

    Hi Patric, Yes, i bought one (and sold two more). I think i have as much chances to get plates here as snowman have chances not melting in vulcano. Let see; maybe it`ll be a "semi" trailer queen and i must tow it to race tracks. I hate that, but don`t wanna play Don Quijote. But my love to GT...
