Sitting pretty, ish, need to tune the front pack to lower it a bit,

With the introduction of fuel injection it became apparent that the underdrive gilmer drive pulleys weren't charging enough to run the system at idle, so back to standard crank and water pump pulleys and v belts all round,

Short (old) vs long (new) waterpump

Sky Chromoly straight and short pitman arm, very nice bit of kit,

 

[Alex gee]

Nitro rear Chromoly Shafts,

Vee belts on and a solid 13.8 volts at idle,

Just enough room on the hydro pumps,

Now we're talking .. nice fab work. You need to fix the front caliper lines though.

 

[Alex gee]

Built up a little ebnder to make some fold back mirrors,

Added some walls to the die to help with flattening,

 

[Alex gee]

6 inch mirror mounted

Tuned the front a bit more with the removal of another leaf, just about spot on now,

 

[Alex gee]

With suck down on the front its pretty low,

Flexing up super styles,
