P1088 remains in Belgium now. Christophe van Riet (Gipimotor) bought it in the Netherlands from Janet. P1088 was street legal with Dutch registration as Janet lived in the Netherlands.

I prever Gaz over Spax (durabilty issues). Had mine custom made by Gaz. They gave me a partnumber which Rallydesign used to order my shocks. I could not order them directly at Gaz but they where very helpfull.

GTD dash on KVA chassis. I made my dash plug & play and removable. My dash slides in and is screwed to the upper chassis members. I just fibreglassed some mounting points to my dash corresponding to the beams that sits below the dash. A bunch of conectors makes the whole dash plug & play.

Sure it looks like your balancer/ pulleys are out to far. That balancer should be close the the engine nearly touching it.

Citroen DS, 5 speed with corrected CWP and Quaife ATB.
