A while back I purchased a partially completed RF-40 (Bill Tuttle's car). I have been chipping away at all of the stuff that remained to be completed and have made a bit of progress. The engine is in and all of the fuel, electrical, and cooling system connections are completed and operational. This car has a mostly stock Ford 302 and an Audi 016 transaxle.
I need to buy or make a set of drive axles for it now. I was wondering what dimension are required to properly define the axle length to someone that makes these? There is a front to back offset due to engine / transaxle and upright CV joint flange location. And, there is an up and down offset due to the suspension travel. Do I need to make a drawing of these offsets at full suspension compression and droop? Who are the typical suppliers of these and what can I expect a set of 4 CV joints, boots, grease, bolts, axles, and any other miscellaneous stuff required?
Thanks for any guidance, Bill
