The wheel / tire combo jumps out. Avons are great but heavy-take your choice. Trigos too.
To compare, my Billboards and magnesium Halibrands:
Wheels: F17.8# R19.7#
Tires F245-60, 18#'s R 295-50, 22#'s.
Combined F 36 R 42
Your best bet is race slicks like G-7's and maybe a bolt-on aluminum 2 piece race wheel. You can get bolt-on hubs for the IRS.
Good job weighing the Jag rear-I forgot to do mine. The newer ERA IRS is 50#'s lighter.
Boy, that warehouse you work in is pretty shabby...

We have the Gen 2 kit with bolt on hubs sitting on the bench.
I bought some steel wheels to fit everything up. Once we have it, I am going to purchase a set of mini lites which are strong enough to run on the street and seemingly 5 to 6 lbs lighter than the FIA replicas. The mags are very expensive and very lite (10-12 lb IIRC), but I still plan to end up there. It is too much money to make a mistake on as they are custom ordered and built. The minis are not cheap, but can be custom ordered and assure we have everything right before I purchase the mags.
The mags would only see track use.

Does anyone know if there is an aluminum housing available for the Salisbury and if so where can it be sourced? I've spent some time researching it, but come up empty.

That guy can be aggravating, especially on technical threads. 
As for weighing stuff, and seeking weight reduction, most folks could lose some around the mid-section too. |

Been wanting to weigh this for a long time - 272 lb. Can't help but think about adapting an aluminum Ford 8.8. .

The business has been growing at an extreme pace. I had to move the machine shop for the 3rd time in 2 two years and I need to move it again. It really put a crimp on building. All we can do is push it to the side and put the cover on it - we're moving again.
Hope things are well with you. |
