axles have been shortened, and have cut out one caliper mount... almost have the drivetrain sorted.. a bit of painting here and there and it should all be mounted up soon.. still cant decide on spring rates

thats cool, i love seeing how custom parts are fabbed up.

hi mate, how come you had to shorten the axels? very interested in what youve done here as i am looking to do exactly the same, also are you interested in making a second set of those brackets?

Shea, as I shortened the housing, the axles would only fit in with the open centre, the clutch packs are blocking the holes with the lsd in.

I can give you a drawing for the brackets if interested, cant be 100% they would be suitable but will give you a few dimensions.. making them.. unfortunately I barely have enough time up my sleeve to make things I need

fair enough Glenn, a pic would still be greatly appreciated, what kind of brakes / rotors are those?

rear disks and calipers are off a nissan s13 silvia.

Ill sort the drawing for ya at work on Monday

Sorry to hijack, but if anyone is looking for a set of those calipers, I bought a pair of S14's (same as) for my Mk2 and have changed plans to R31, so they are up for grabs.

PM me if interested.

BTW, awesome build Niscort. Watching it keenly.

Shea, hope this helps
