I'm glad you're here Ewan.
Makes my five year rebuild of a sylva look not too bad

astonishing
thanks for the reply, i had read a few bits of ron's book and guessed that it was 2370mm, i didn't have the axle tube size , hence the
guess.
thanks

oi! zilspeed play fair
i can think of lots of reasons why the build has stalled.
all the same, point taken.
I know that i have to start building and stop fiddleing with the car, last year saw it with brakes, steering, suspension, engine, gearbox, pedals etc.
Then i lost a bit of confidence in the build and decided that i would rose joint everything and alter the wishbone settings, current state is a bare
frame with no rear tie bar mounts and all of the wishbone mounts removed, engine on the floor et.c.
so like i said, i have to stop mucking about with it and just get on with the build. Keep the jibes coming it'll spur me on.
You can text jibes to 07752 324 412
