Finally put the last bits of the chassis on for the tank...
  The back end will be removable by undoing 6 bolts, I wanted easy access to the rear for when I need to make setup changes or replace by diff mounts!!  Oh I've refurbed the brakes but no pictures. Forgot and they are tucked away now. Managed to get a big red refurb kit for the front brakes and new chromed pistons for £30 each. backs where £15 each no pistons needed. £90 all in, not bad.

Hi Chris,
That's a goo idea with the rear top tube I guess you intend to sheet the rear in ally and that will work out nice around the wheel arch area as it can all be in one piece.Gonna pick your'e brains now, did you lower the floor to get over the top harness anchorage points to be within IVA measurements as I'm looking to have no rear stays on my rollbar and weld spacers on my top seat rail to gain height? I see you're prop has been shortened, did you do this yourself and if so where? Also I guess you measured between the gear box ouput and diff flange and made the prop a bit shorter? by how much shorter do you make it? Regarding you instrument cluster now... I also intend to use the original Mazda panel but the only set back I have at the moment is the speedo cable. Anybody using the mechanical speedo drive will have problems in the transmission tunnel with the radius being too tight from the gearbox. I have read Westfields only lasting a few miles before the cable breaking on their Mazda builds. I believe there is a TOYOTA 90 degree adapter that will fit the Mazda gearbox to get over this but dammed if I can source the part...  What do you intend to do? Really like what you are doing with the build Chris... Johno
