Set of R888 in the garage awaiting the wheels arrival. ;)

Well the wheels arrived today and I just test fitted them and they easily clear everything, I even had a set of 1.8 brakes there so I tried them and they clear well too so all in all nothing to worry about. I don't know for sure about other 13" wheels or offsets but with these wheels everything has 10mm clearance but difficult to measure accurately.:D

Nice one Chris, didn't doubt they'd fit for a second :D

Car with new wheels. :D



Took loads of photos which you can see in my photostream, some are of clearance etc. I can just push my fingers up inside between the rear arch and wheels. 1.6 brakes look tiny behind even these 13" wheels.

I've now started stripping the car down. :mad: Which is a bit depressing.

One more....:D

Nice wheels Chris!
Those tyres look suitibly sticky too :cool:

Looks very nice. I found that the next stage was the most enjoyable once the chassis was painted -putting stuff together that was staying together;)

Thanks for that encouragement ayjay, stripped the car down today after reattaching my winch to the garage cross beam. It kind of let go just as I started to hoist the engine yesterday! :eek: Bit of an "oh shit" moment!

sorted out the steering stops. I just welded in some spare hex and box section to stop the rack as required! :D

Can you show us a picture of you steering stop arrangement please?

Meant to put up image last night but forgot.





I would of used hex tube on the other side as well but I didn't have anymore of that old tool left :D , I pinched the tubing in the vice giving it a tight fit and then just gave them each three tiny welds to secure them in place. Quick and dirty but reversible and it does the job.
