Dave and the team at Track Developments are in the process of making the wishbones for the car. I nipped down there today to have a quick look, to meet some folk from the Bristol Kit Car Club and also to get the geometry checked on Kate's MX-5. Dave has altered the toe settings and it is much better to drive now - much more confidence inspiring, particularly around the dead-ahead. I really can't say enough good things about the service Dave, Tom and Ben provide.
My current thinking is that I should get Track Developments to do all the performance critical stuff - including anti-roll bars and specifying dampers. If it's good enough for some of the big-spending historic guys, it's good enough for my little retro rocket...
I've also been talking to 'Handy Andy' at Arrow Auto Engineering who's in the process of sorting out a custom lightweight pedal box based on a MkII Escort unit. I'm very pleased with how it appears to be coming together.
This will bolt to fabricated mounts above the footwell. The master cylinders will be backward facing, meaning that I'll need a quick-access hatch at the top of the main tub - no problem and this will provide very easy access once the job is done.
