Well today has had it's ups and downs to say the least! I came home today to find a big box, and look what was in it



So off I went to fit it and I've hit a massive snag, the tyre's locking against the coil over, so not good!
I am unsure about what to do with this now and it's not looking good for this weekend.
I am running minilife wheels and looking for an answer other than running arches and big spacers.




Any ideas guys?

I was thinking that mate, but the tanks will need chopping about to fit as well.

I really like the fuel fittings on the fpr.


Thanks mate i did the carb too as i was at it.



This looks awesome, how did you attach the 90deg areoquip fitting to the carb?
Ive been trying to work out how to do this for a while!
Also what do the fuel pipes go to between the bulkhead and the carb? is it a fuel filter?

you can just see the adapter in there-->>
the std copper pipe on there pulls out ( yes pulls *wink* ) quite easily, run a drill down there and a 1/8bsp tap then buy a 1/8bsp to AN-6 adapter then a -6 90deg hose fitting

( i just guessed on the pipe sizes but you get the idea)

edit to make it sound like i am actually English *wink*

looking beautiful too Simon, shame about the coils binding though *frown*
