Hi,

So after my joy at the torsional test, I got down to work on the turbo mountings. Tight fit on the drivers side, the passengers is good.

In regards to the brake performance, I have calculated the brakes from first principles, theres obviously a lot of variables to modify, but the main ones are pads and disc diameter, mc/slave sizes, the size of the tyre. One of the ones that can't be modified is how my car with a different weight split to I'd say most of the other replicas, with a Venom chassis and Ford engine, which carries and transfers its weight differently a "lightweight" Chev/302 with more of a ladder. I have the excel file if anyone wants it, its how I worked out which Wilwoods I wanted.
