I went with the bigger golf rad which doesnt really fit behind the front frame. But it does fit in front of if just needs a bit of adjustment

Bit safer there if you bat the nose end.
I built a car to race and used Ginneta rad behind the frame worked a treat.

Hi Steve,
I don't know if you are talking about my "redesign", but in case, here is the link:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?...Dg&usp=sharing

If I had to redesign it now, I would put an angle on the throttle pedal, so when you are full throttle, your heel doesn't touch the bottom of the pedal. But it is totally drivable this way anyway.

Hope this will help

Hi, I'm using Sylvains peddle box design, one thing that i did slightly different was to weld the curved plates on the peddles differently.
I have wide feet, so I kept the brake peddle plate central, but then I placed the plate for the accelerator as far to the right as possible, but still allowing me a full weld and the clutch peddle plate I pushed to the left hand extreme if that makes sense. By doing this I get more room around the brake peddle.

kind regards

Arfon

I also started on the suspension
I have made the camber adjusters for the wishbones which need to be made first to complete the wishbones

The jig for aligning them

i would hold of buying and fitting a bearing, i bashed in and bought one then when the seats went in i couldnt get my knees under the steering collum, my collum goes over the first bar then under the second, i modified the bulkhead bracket already on the mx5 collum and just bolted it straight on
