Well done mate , love that sticking out the back of a car! I can list all the parts im going to use on my one but it doesn't mean it's the right or wrong way of doing it, it depends what your plans are with it really , all this lot on the forum are a good bunch , Steven in America will be keen to see this to
Bit like a snake engulfing prey near its own size.
Yes I will be watching closely as a matter of interest, but have decided to further encumber myself by making some period correct appearing mods of outwardly viewable structure, whilst delving deeper into the Skunk Works box for more serious modifications of internal mechanisms that will allow for significantly better handling and performance.
I waited the requisite 10 months for Andy to build a high quality monocoquoe with deeper ribbing in the area of the engine compartment to support the greater power of my intended powerplant.
I also bought his metal kit, which includes original spec front suspension pieces for me to use as a starting point for my ambitious, and necessarily very unconventional take on a fully independent unequal length double A arm suspension up front. This being done to prevent the excessive changes in wheel camber imposed by the original swing arm set up.
I also intend to experiment with a narrow set, differentialess dual rear wheel set up to improve stability of tracking and provide greater resistance to roll over. Clearly the body was made wide enough back there to indicate that at least somebody in the design department of the original Peel Engineering had an open mind to this also.
On the back burner for now though as I am busy rebuilding my recently acquired barn, and rounding up Flippers.
