I know the kad front hubs can be used on both sides as they have disc mounts on the front and back. That or you could add some extra weight and run double calipers  Double calipers would be mad!! migth aswell throw and anchor out the back |

I'm sure you know this Simon, but make sure you lubricate any Ti fasteners well, like stainless it doesn't respond well to sliding against the same material, and can gall up like a bastard if you are not careful.

Hi all, well I have slowed down a bit on the car as I am waiting on the postman to bring me some bits and bobs, so I can build up the subframe, as for the Engine I started playing with it today.
