Superformance MKII, Riverside Racer 289 FIA vintage race car

[1795]

Spent two long days finishing up the Girlings and installing the Spicer half-shafts on the Salisbury differential. It was a long time coming, but we finally figured out the correct adjustments for mounting the Girlings!

Here they are front and rear.



Being that this is a development car, subsequent racers will be able to convert to Girlings without all of the development hassle. Rick, Ross and Roy will have a package that will make the conversion much easier and quicker than what we went through.

The next step was to put together the Spicer half-shafts and install them. Not an easy endeavor. A lot of scrapes and cuts on my hands and forearms. There is not a lot of room to work with. Thankfully I had the use of Rick's lift, would have ben a real pain with just floor jacks.



The car is now home and I will start preparing it for the engine and transmission install. A lot of work still ahead.
