Of tinkering with the rear end, mainly to stop the rear wheels rubbing the arches, i took the lip off of the inner arch(powerfiles are excellent) then thought i would take the rear wheels off and found this


As you can see the rear spacers were bolted on with the wrong nuts, so when the wheel was fixed to the axle/spacer instead of fitting flush against the spacer it was mating up to the nut heads you see in the photos, which was throwing it out by about 8mm each side , so used the proper nuts and sorted that problem put the rear wheels back on only to discover one of the wheels has a different offset to the other three, i have a spare so i need to get the tyre swapped, so if anybody needs a 14x6 superlite in black powder coating let me know.

I'm just off out for my first drive in it right now

Just returned, first impressions are that this is going to be one hell of a lot of fun , however this maiden voyage was cut short due to a knocking noise from the right rear which is speed related, so i'm thinking wheel bearing and shall fit new ones tomorrow and try again, the only fault is the brakes which are standard, and my god aren't they shit! so definately wilwoods ASAP, I have also fitted a quick release steering boss which makes it so easy to get in and out of especially with the roof on.

Well spotted with the rear spacers how much stress would the wheel be under when you tightened the nuts up
