If you put a new bolt on something, post it. That’s what we want.

Thanks mate will suss them! I think the bolt holes on my K frame are different but will hit the guy up. Means I could test fit my engine and when the shell gets here

More delivery stuff, got some tail light gaskets and some screws for some stuff I’m developing. Might be going a little overkill but it’s the little things, right?

Parts collection is growing while I wait for paint. Next on the list is Wilwoods and my Front runners

If you need any help grabbing them, holla...More than happy to help out...

Don't take long for parts to stack up....The next step is remembering where they all go

Keep up the good work

How big a tyre/rim combo do you want to go on the back?

I've had a few mini-tubbed cars...definitely can't get away with as much these days as last one got kicked off the road even with engineers report.

Next car a vk will get split tubs,showtime custom lower arms & keeping stock fuel tank...looks factory untill next to stock car but will also keep standard diff & wheels as down here most rego inspectors won't look at heavily modified cars anymore.

Going 275/60/15 on a 15x8, they “almost” fit and I think they’ll be fine tubbed to the rail.

Just nutted.

I'd split tub everything after all rego issues down here...pita every year even though I've never been defected or hassled by cops.

9 or 10 inch ride rim be way better for that tyre but would push sidewall out much further creating further clearance issues & you'll end up raising rear too much.

Most end up using drum brakes with 3 3/8 bs as factory rear disc/calipers sit near top way too close to rail...never had wilwoods but think you can have them mounted lower or in middle atleast.

Middle of wheelarch just inside is where tyre will rub...the line between sidewall & tread even if you have decent finger clearance will still scrub with body roll or diff movement.

Really wish mine had that inner section of wheelarch modified so tyre could be tucked & not rub...next car 100% doing it before paint lol.

Tubular lower rear control arms will help you with tyre clearance too. Black Magic Race Cars arms appear to be the pick of the bunch at the moment. Which is what I'll use on mine when I get there
