Hi,

 

Speak with Andy (Grim), our area Sec. He had his done by Martin at MK engineering. Made a nice job of it as well.Must admit I was tempted to do the same to mine, however cars performance at Barkston last year got me thinking otherwise...Decided to keep the money in my pocket towards the next build

Hi

 

Kit is available from GBS, pre drilled and bent, but is not for the faint hearted.

 

significant bits of the chassis have to be removed and replaced.

 

removing is easy, any 9" grinder will do it.

 

replacing has a lot to do with your vehicle. 2b chassis are "similar".

 

so some care must be taken to get the new bits positioned right if you don't want it turned into a crab.

 

Then is just a case of GOOD welding, and refit. I've done three.

 

The mod makes the car A LOT better, but I must sympathise with Tazzman1 view.

 

have you seen the new wide zero?

 

Regards
