Man, it's pretty impressive that when you post about an issue you have you are often also able to post about the solution and how you already implemented it!!!

CNC heat treated, was that processed under vacuum

I don't know lol !

I just brought the $500 drag racing one that's not made from chocolate

Brought some nylon 66 which I have never used before to make a chassis to chain guard.

I'm not really geared up for dealing with his material so it was all abit amature but got the job done.

Stripped the gearbox output shalft of all it's gears ready for new shalft

Decided for now will leave the chassis in bare metal so using fine scotch pads and this stuff (thanks Mopar Mark)

Came up susprizingly well a few more nights of rubbing and should be done.

Stripped the rear wheel to find lots of bolts coming lose .....


Will give everything a polish and loads of lock tight

Cleaned all old gaskets off every surface and spent hours cleaning everything ready to put motor back together

Great progress!

Got the engine all back together with the new drag race gearbox output shaft installed

And it’s runs !!!

On the first test drive I had around 6° of rake

I had a really bad tank slapped and it was horrendously unstable at speed. Poo came out nappy job

After ringing around every person in the UK that has worked on hub center steering it was decided to go to the other extreme and have 100mm of rake.

This have given me a 37° rake angle


Fingers crossed it’s more stable for the next test drive

that'll help for sure . when i built my 47 austin gasser it didn't have enough castor at first and was a real handful, very twitchy. i added 3 degree wedge plates between the axle and springs and it was transformed. i built my anglia gasser with almost 10 degrees and that was cushty . once you're happy will you weld the extensions to the frame?
cheers, neil.
