Re: TF Race Car Build
So ordered one of these last night, was going to go with plywood but...

Got them from rally design, they're not specifically rear 2 pots, but the pad is that small you couldn't use them as fronts.big angus wrote:Interesting rear brake setup Where did you get the rear calipers

Re: TF Race Car Build
Great progress - and like what you've done with the windows - you've done what I had in mind for them and so nice to see that it works! Have you any more photos of the support brace, and where did you get that tubing from?
Sorry to hear about the grief with the ARB...

Rob, which support brace are you on about the B pillar one?Rob Bell wrote:Have you any more photos of the support brace, and where did you get that tubing from?

Will have another look at the ARB this weekend, I wonder if I could use a front mgf one and modify it for the rear..

Re: TF Race Car Build
I was wondering about the plexiglass supports? I had similar problems to you with the flat panel (it flapped about A LOT in the breeze!) This could save me a few kilos in weight
I really like that adjustable ARB. Is it universal? What diameters does it come in? Available front and rear? I should probably look at the Eliseparts.com website shouldn't I?

Rob,
The tubing is 8mm stuff from B&Q, 2 x 1m lengths will do a window. I have to redo the drivers side from scratch so will do some more pictures when I do it.
