Great project - no doubt scare some of the local boy-racers.
Toothbrush and some Harpic Power Plus is called for I reckon - for the engine ali. I mean (don't know what it would do the the gnashers but
reckon it wouldn't taste very nice?).
Cheers, Pewe

Looking good Ivan - how far off drivable is it (if only for a car park run)?

Why the change from the transfer box? It was looking like a cheap alternative

While the Locost solution from Nat & Cal was always looking like it would work, there was still a fair amount of related stuff to fettle. The
drive cup/shaft was going to need a nice hard one piece driveshaft made, and a reverse gear solution was also required.
The Quaife Powertec has always been a " I want one" but the high price, and rarity of affordable used ones left few other solutions to a
lsd rear axle within my budget....
Until the change of MSA regs which lead to the demise of BEC rally cars, so MydT9 on here sold off the Powertec which is now mine.
Not only was it affordable, but Myds car ran a Blackbird engine, so it came with a suitable cush drive, solved the reverse gear issue as it already
has one, and came with a spare gearset & Berrisford driveshafts.
And its lighter ...
