Looks good! Have you done any FEA on the Upright? (it's always a bit of a 'mare trying to decide on sensible load cases, and also why OEM's still do "kerb strike" tests etc even after lots of FEA/FMEA work ;-)
For track use only plus i'm not 100% sure they will be sold to the masses.managed to get one of the rear uprights done today for a test fit. thankfully no problems and everything lines up as it should
just have the ball joint plinths to make then they can get fitted up properly. just got to program and make the other side then its onto the fronts.
does anyone know where i can get an 8 deg reamer in the uk? cant seem to find one anywhere for doing the ball joint tapers

Just seen this thread. Does insanity run in the family or is it a large streak of bravery. I have a S1 with a supercharged, charge cooled Honda engine. Puts out 300 bhp at the rear wheels which is adequate, if not a little scary at times.
I have not read all the thread yet but admire you just for coming up with the project. I look forward to seeing its progress.

Not sharing that information publicly though as that's my info that I'm not going to show other people so they know what to do if there going to try and copy them"
