Re: project:UFO
Just seen Nathan's picture on FB, looks sweet mate
G/box mounts are a bit confusing though
,
That cradle is the original one and the gearbox was just a standard BC one that's fitted to an RS1800.

Re: project:UFO
You can always get it powdercoated at a later date mate,
also I do have a brand new cradle over here as well if its needed
I want to see it on the Super T's, I loved those wheels

Re: project:UFO
When I was speaking to Jon yesterday on the island, I couldnt work out why it wouldn't fit either, I thought all gearbox cradles was interchangable throughout the years? Blame Shaun for giving him dodgey parts
Get some pics up soon as you can too, be nice to see the engine sitting in the car

Re: project:UFO
Awesome pictures mate
Can't believe you are selling those Super Ts
, they were my favourite wheels
Wish I had something to stick them on and I'd have them back
I've just bought some 18" ones to stick on the Escos
