Narrowed A Arms

Well it was another mission today to get some work done on the car! After last sunday at Chris' we dropped the A Arms off to Wayne Allman to get narrowed and being the guy that he is, they were done and ready to go Wednesday night! My best friend Adie Harper kindly picked them up for us and we finally got them this morning! They have been narrowed a total of 1" per side and Wayne has done an absolutey cracking job as usual. I cannot recommend Wayne (and Chris) highly enough for their fabrication skills! Once we had picked up the A Arms at 6am this morning we drove down to Peter at Cogbox to pick up a gearbox casing which we could be used for mock up. Our gearbox wasn't quite ready so Pete had sorted out a bare case which was perfect for what we needed! From Pete's we then headed over to Chris' 'shop and got everything fitted up. Pics below!

As you can see the bearing carrier was cut out and repositioned the maximum of an inch further in giving us more clearence on the rear.

We arrived at Chris' to find our 4cm wider rear wings had arrived from CSP which we got a cracking deal through Micheal at Machine 7. You can tell here that they are wider but once everythings all button'd up and painted they will look a treat.

Chris also made a really cool bracket to house the staging brake right next to the shifter.

He had also fitted our custom Simpson Window net..

After that we got cracking, gearbox going in..

This was a really cool part, the engine going in!

We then got all the A Arms and brakes back on for a trial fit of everything, we are super chufted with the results!

Packing up and tucked in for the night!!

The car is due back from Chris' with all his work complete in less than 2 weeks! We can't wait!
