Hello All. After my last installment when N02 Inlet valve decided to drop and wreck the bore i have been looking for a new block to base a 2130cc overbore on. Simon Ward came to the rescue with a very late B20 with 8 bolt flywheel. I have decided to go overboard and have ordered forged rods and B21 pistons from America. I am also waiting for one of John Parkers "supercharged" spec camshafts.
Whilst i am waiting i have started on my rear disc setup. I have chopped the Estate brackets of my original axle and welded them onto a P1800ES axle. I am making some tubuler steel radius arms and panard rod to replace the pressed steel ones. Again from America, a 2 foot length of 90A polyurethane is on its way from which i am turning poly bushes.
Also my new wheels have arrived. 7.5" x 18" Dotz Roadster. 108mm PCD and 43 mm offset. At the back i have 235/40 x 18 tyres which fit nicely. On the front i have P1800ES spindles to match the PCD with the rear. 205/45 x 18 tyres fit with a 18mm spacer to bring the offset back to ET25. The overall diameter of the rear set up is exactly the same as standard and the front 4mm smaller.
