Wow what a fantastic day! SO nice to be able to work in the sun.

Prop shaft is fabbed up and is ready to be sent to get made up by a prop shaft company. The slip yoke has 1/2 inch of movement so that should be ok. Or do you guys thing there should be more play?

Prop shaft gearbox yoke in its final location.


Prop yoke pushed in as far as it can go.

Quick rack installed. Think thats all installed ok. If anyone sees any problems let me know!




Sump height.


Pully cover now shows RB25 rather than RB26. So no more false advertising.

Seats arived. Had to put them in and see how it looked. Also had to jump in..... feels great! Now i have to work out how to fit the rails and seats so they can be removed at a later date while using ally floor.

:cool: Looking great

As for seat runners.... do you really need them? I asked myself the same question :D in the end I didn,t fit any seat runners, I,ve placed the passenger seat as far back as possible & the drivers seat is positioned to suit my height/leg length....after all , my reasoning was I,ll be the one doing the driving, :)

makes fitting the seats alot easier too :o , I too have an ali floor .

cheers

Humm I was under the impression that the drivers seat must have runners for the iva. If not then that's sweet news!
