i don't think so andy i will check. i thought it was so that you can see the allen key head bolts? if that makes sense?

im trying to fit the front radiator today but it doesn't look like iv got enough room for some reason! :(

iv checked them and there fine mate must just be the picture.

i managed to squeeze the rad in i'll get a pic later as the bat ran out of the camera!

do you think 100mm clearance between the back box and the ground is enough for a road car?
the back box is bigger than a maniflow one.

thanks

It looks like you've fitted the centers the wrong way round in the rims. The flat face should be against the hub. The curved bit should face out.

If I'm not mistaken those are V3's, which have a flatter front profile.
In any case you cannot fit the centres wrong as there is the register on the rear that the rims sit on, and also the rim bolts are counterbored on one side only.

i have not taken them apart! they came like that from carl. they are the right way round, and yes tom they are the V3 type ones. :)

well progress has been slow as iv had family commitments but got all the plates welded in now....









iv also planked off the fuel filler neck hole...



just need to tidy the welds up with the good old grinder and a bit of primer on them.

i bought a nice shiny stainless steel exhaust :)







once i get it on its wheels i will get a engine in so i can make the down pipe and hang the exhaust. then i will get the exhaust welded up to how i want it :)

Hi mate looks good! But is that gear change bracket the right way round?

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

probably not lol I will have another look at it next weekend. That's the reason I put pics up ay :)
I've got to workout how to route the intercooler pipes round the KAD master cylinders as well! lol

That front bracket looks like it should be the other way round!
