Well a bit more progress at last ;D
I decided to machine the halfshafts down as that will leave me with the most brake disc options in the future
And that allows golf 239mm discs, cossie calipers to fit under 13" CX`s so when the new 13" wheels come I`ll have loads of room ;D
Just need to do some caliper mountings now and we are there !!!
I can get the axle case cleaned up, a few brackets and stops added, blasted and into paint ;D
I was down the barn last night to empty my van in readiness for a trip up to Warks again this weekend to collect the rest of my stuff.
I have had a gearbox in the back of my van for ages, its been stripped, inspected and reassembled ready.
Its a 6 speed with really close ratios, and is more available than the type 9 will become in the future I think.
There are a number of variants with different bellhousings and ratios, different rear end housings too, so they look to be a really good choice for the future.
And they should be interchangeable with one another ;D
So I thought I`d have a quick look on the bench with a spare short motor ;D as I want to make an adaptor plate to mate this to the Sigma motor.
I`ll probably do a few while I am at it, as I reckon it could be done for similar money as a Type9 Bellhousing ;D
Anyway...... this is what it looked like
Rather happy with that ;D
