Well today we drove the 400 mile round trip down to Chris' in Wickford, Essex to pick up the A Arms and check out the car! Yet again Chris' work just amazes us! The man is a genius!!! The arms are being dropped off to another metal work genius Wayne Allman tomorrow ready to be narrowed an inch! Anyways the photos..!
To get the correct position for the funny car style (which is quite a bit further back in the car than stock seats) the shifter needed to be moved 5" backwards. See below pics!
The driving position feels great, no stretching for the shifter or being too close up front.
The removable steering wheel is complete now, the wheel is fitted with a Mark Williams quick release adapter. The quick release is one of the nicest kits we've seen and although its got small splines there is a 'master' spline to ensure you are fitting the wheel in the correct position!
These are the mounts for the 5 point harness, the bottom mount is for the crotch strap, the other mounting points are on the cage and a threaded plate welded into the tunnel. You can also make out in the bottom picture a support mount off the tunnel for the seats.
Some more detail shots of the seats, very comfy they are too!
Another one of my ideas was to fit a vertical bar to the door exactly in place of where the stock quarter light would be, the idea being once the bar was chromed it would from the outside resemble a stock quarter light...
I'm pretty pleased with how they came out, they should look cool once they are chromed!
And finally the all important chassis builders tag. Incredibly proud of this!!
