It lives!!

Any carnage this time? 


From an engineering standpoint, I don't think those lady gussets were absolutely necessary at the front of the trailing arms. 

But nice touch anyway.

Them pics are a few weeks before breakdown, I am waiting for a couple parts from rick yet, it will be done besides the links by Sunday... Ya the ladys dont do much, just a "check that out piece" I probbaly could have gotten them a little closer to even, but ya cant see both sides at the same time anyways...

If you needed some I could have sent you some so you didnt have to cut them. I have a box full of them 

Looking good BTW

Since you were just about rebuilding the whole back of the car, I would have modified the right side CV spacer such that the brake disk mounted outside the CV flange and the CV bolted right to the gear box flange. Then I would have moved the gear box to the right centering the CVs again. It would have gained you 1/2" of axle length per side which there should be enough spline to do.

Id have to relocate the engine to match...  would only gain me about 1/2 of length, the travel it has is plenty for what it is IMO...

[Admin]

When I tweeked the rear t arms I actually reduced the overall width of the car as well...  I have not measured the travel, but the shock is limiting the cvs have a lot of angle left in them......

[LiveWire]

You would just increase the thickness of the spacer behind the clutch by 1/2" The width of the outrigger bearing is more than that so you probably would not have to do anything there.

[Admin]

The outer bearing was like 5/8 i think, only would be held on with 1/8 engagement. Either way i am not Messing with that, it works fine as is, I haven't mangled any cv boots except the originals...
