I also got problem with the standard propshaft.
At this moment I'm engineering a new one who will replace the standard.
It will be made out a steel pipe an cross-joints. It will handle at least 325Nm of torque.
The more I can make, the cheaper it will be.
Please let me know if you're interested.

When you want to replace the standard clutch-housing by that of a 360 you'll get yourself a lot of work.
You also have to replace the clutch because the splines is different.

I would be interested in that.....Maybe start a new thread about it?

[340GLT]

Yeh i know the splines are different, thats in the bag.... i think in the long run it will be a much better design.

Right this week i'm off work to spend some time on LFE and fianlly get her back on the road. I am on suspension first and got a lot done today after my new welding mask turned up. By end of the week i want to have lowered car back onto its rear wheels as its currently sat on axle stands. Anyways let pics do the talking.

Right today i made the 2 new upper arms for the 4 link and machined a tube up to take the centre pivot bolt for the watts linkage, and welded it into the beam. I also made up the two plates that will make the pivot for the watts linkage.
Enjoy...

awesome engineering skillz dude!

[SteveP]

Awesome work, this is gonna be interesting to see!

[garth]

Didn't that driftmoto guy have a watts link type set up too?

I love it!

[340GLT]

No mate he had a paynard setup.

[Stefan]

Thats some good skill mate looking top.

[340GLT]

Not much done today due to weather, did get the pivot finished though, just needs a spacer made up and a longer bolt.

[Jos360]

Have you used any measurements to calculate the lengts of the arms and brackets of the Watt's link? Or is it just the longest possible arm or something like that?

[Ronnie]

Motorsport quality as usual, Adam - nice work.

Looking forward to see what you're going to put between the drive shafts also!
