Those are porsche? what did they come from? I know that vw are red and porsche are blue, but i didn't think they made them shorter.

I think their a swayaway torsion bar got then from V-force.

Looking good Malcolm

Are you going to bridge over and under the trans to tie the two sections of torsion bar housing together?

56oval · #25 September 12th 2006, 06:52

rich I will over the top ,the bottom if I have enough clearence to remove the transmission.

I thought I had a lot of fabrication in my project but when I look at what your doing my car isn't so tough anymore

Keep the updates coming!

56oval · #27 September 16th 2006, 08:51

heres the bracing to bridge the torsion tubes together and the engineer has approved it.

this will be the position of the drive shafts under load.

another angle

cheers malcolm

ricola · #29 September 17th 2006, 17:33

Looking good Malcolm, but I think you could get a LOT more strength into the middle by closing off the hole infront of the trans...
Rich

56oval · #30 September 17th 2006, 22:32

Rich the hole in front of the trans is forthe shifter rod & coupling if you have a look at the earlier pics youwould see that plate goes right across the tunnel.
I,m going to modify the orignal pan and use this one as a test bed.
