Skov / stot? - how much have you chopped out of the bracket?

Any ideas of how I can increase the clearance.......

I am starting to loose the will to build my car. Once this is done I will commit to paying for bodywork and the last few bits.

On mine in the photo you can see where the old hole was.



The slight change of angle helped more than how much I took of to be honest. I will likely take them off again and fill that hole with weld and grind it so that it butts up all the way along as it could swivel a bit if the bolt came loose.

Finally got my propshaft back yesterday. It fits this time which is nice
Just bolted it all up with my new front diff mount and Stot's solid diff arm mounts.
Here's some pictures for what it's worth:







I'll report back when it breaks (assuming broken wishbones or the awful handling doesn't put me in a ditch first).

Great, lets us all know if it feels any different.

[twinturbo]

looks solid, certainly an improvement

[Dualist]

Looks good mate, I'll doing the same to my diff.

Just had a quick blast. The diff survived which is a good start.
Can't say I notied any additional vibration.

250 miles on and the diff is holding up so far...

Some new roadster related goodies turned up in the post this morning.
I got mixed reviews from other road users on the way home, but I think they were mostly positive



Chocks away!
