Looks like fun.
Any chance you could post a pic under dash showing exactly where you have attached the pedal box? I was looking at that recently and it looked like a PITA to get the pedals where I want them with location of steering column. I didn't have a pedal box to physically offer up though.
From the pics it looks like a big gap between brake pedal and accelerator pedal. Is that why you have the side tab on the accel pedal? How does it go with heel/toe?
The accelerator pedal is a lot closer these days as i modified that bit, it was to far between those 2 pedals. Heel and toe isn't a drama with size 16 race boots, but what i found is a couple of times i went to jump on the brake and nearly missed it being to far between pedals.Originally Posted by Ned Loh

No sway bar required Jim ? , also normal bushes to locate the upper/lower trailing arms ? . The reason I ask is I tried some spherical bearings in the upper trailing arms and the body mount of the lower arms and it improved a few traits but caused more issues than improvements .
Thanks for the pics , Adam

Cheers Jim. Kinda confirms that pedal box into early commo is a PITA.
Love the factory clock on left in dash shot.
Hi Jim - nice rig,
How do you find the MCA struts?.
Do you run them on the front also???
Cheers
That's a nice package.
Looks tough.
The Watts is installed incorrectly. Links need to be swapped top to bottom on the diff so horizontal at ride height.

Shit now looking at it your right. i put the diff back in after putting a Kaaz in it the day before the last race meet and it was late, i must of been in dream land. lol
You wouldn't believe it but last race i raced it like that and it felt pretty good.
Thanks for the pick up on that

See that little silver and green Commy coming in forth..........only a 308 with early heads.....not bad for a shit heap!!!!
Jimbo.....just clicking through the photo's though....I think you might have installed the Watts wrong when the diff was last out man.....bell crank just needs turning around so top and bottom arms are parallel.
Talk soon,
