    I know! I've now got to plumb it in. It's going in the rear line (easier) so it will hold the rear brakes off rather than hold front on. Makes for a more interesting burn out at the strip. Still got to move the bias valve though.

    Lilith the V8 racing Spacevan

    Successful evening. The axle tube is back in the van, the old diff is stripped for what I need to swop over for the new one. The adaptor plate and shims have been test fitted.. The old diff has gone into the "Munro" box (offerings to the god of speed)... it's pretty full now......

    As I suspected. The idler gears are siezed solid, lots of glitter in the oil but the bearings look like new so I've flushed the pinion bearings out. Time to get ordering stuff...

    That took some doing. The aluminium foil joining tape is a right bugger to use though

    Well I finally managed to find the correct fibreglass insulation. Time to start getting it on. I made templates before I skinned it. Still fiddly though
