Spent a bit of time in the shed last night an made a tail-shaft loop.

I used the factory studs for the old two piece tail-shaft.

Had a little bit more progress.

I got back the laser cut parts for the sump and tack them together for a trial fit up.

Good clearance on the crossmember.

But after checking clearance on the oil pickup I knew I had a problem.:banghead:

This is a 13B turbo pickup.

Started to design a lower profile pickup.

The sump will have to be modified.

And even then I will have to lower the swaybar. Might have a look at some of those anti-dive spacers.

Awsome project!

Looks good

Parts for my sump are made ready for welding! :biggthumpup:

The flange is screwed to a piece of 8mm steel plate to help with distortion, here with the sump pickup in place.

Hopefully organising the welding next week as I don't have an AC TIG to weld alloy. :(
