Time I tried this thing for size, custom width Dana 60 with 4.10 gears and a True trac diff & 35 spline shafts. Wheels are 10x15 with Mickey Thompson 29x12.50 tyres. Just need to get it spot on central, get a prop made, set the pinion angle and weld on the perches. It can all come out to be painted then refit and build the brakes up.

Don't tell me that was the reg number the dvla doled out to you :shock: is she going to get juiced? Sorry so many questions :lol: you don't have to answer... All will be revealed in time.... :thumbright:

Yes that's the reg the DVLA gave me, no it won't be on nitrous! This is how it sits on the floor, about an 1.5" rake which is what I was aiming for. Danas are supposed to weigh 75lb more than an equivalent 8.75, I don't have scales with enough capacity else I'd weigh it. It must go a good 200lbs I can barely lift it on my own.
