Hi Theo, did the Nissan brakes bolt straight onto the Borgy or did you require adapters???

 
Hi Laurie, Yes straight bolt on, but because the wheel sits so close to the leafs and with their offset we ended up making them so we could position the calliper in the right spot.
 
Cheers, Alex. 

A small update where the tubs and boot were prepped and painted.



With the bigger tubs the rear legs of the cage had to be changed. The harness bar is now welded into the hoop.

The alloy drop tank is now bolted in. Really like the way that has turned out.


Running gear is now complete with the installation of the T5 gearbox.
Having the auto tunnel made life so much easier, it didn't need any further mods and there is still room around the box.
We made up some new gearbox mounts and used the original crossmember that came with the box to bolt it in.



As you can see the hole for the gear lever had to be enlarged a bit, but it all looks good with the quick shifter installed.

Measured up the tail shaft and it needs to be shortened by 2.5 inches, so that's this weeks job.
 

Perfect 👌 everything is looking amazing especially that shifter.. How long till flying, driving

Oh hell yes.

Thanks.
 
I still have a long way to go before it's on the road, I'm still waiting for the motor to be picked up so it can be rebuilt.
 
Once the tailshaft is sorted out ill be starting on the front brake and pedal box conversion as well as fixing up the heater bubble as its full of rust!

Had a productive long weekend and got the new front brakes installed. Ended up being a true bolt on kit, no modifying or trimming or machining of hubs to make it all fit, bolted straight up from the start.
 


 
The wheels fit nice with perfect clearance for the caliper. Pretty happy I went with an Aussie made kit, I'd probably still be trying to fit the UK kits. This one meets all our ADR's too.
 

 
Got the tyres mounted and the stance is exactly what I was looking for. Although I will be adding an anti-dive kit and then adjust the castor.
 

 

 

Good evening Alex, where did you purchase the front brake kit from and how much it's next on my list

It's a Hoppers Stoppers kit, cost was about $1800 which includes extras like slotted rotors, powder coated calipers, braided lines.

Thanks Alex, might have to do a couple of weekends man whoring to pay for it but will definitely have a look at this set-up.
Cheers Matt

Looking great with the fronts on, coming together marvellously, won't be long till your turning that key 🔑
