looks awesome in that top pic! queue thomas 'errr those wishbones aren't parralel'

Probably cornering and also who says it's running OEM control arms (they're not wishbones, numpty)?

Also parallel is spelled like that, not as above.  HTHs.

How much do these feted wheels weigh, Nick?

Are you getting harness bars put in the cage when it's installed?

No idea on the weight of the wheels Tom. As for the harness bar, we're going to fit the cage and then see about putting one in the cage or between the rear turrets. Rear turrets is preferred for more shell rigidity, but there might be issues with the harnesses running through the cage diagonal. We shall see!

Do both.

Tie the rear turrets and put the harness mounts across the cage.

I'll have a look when it's all trial fitted. Not sure putting one in the cage is going to be that easy with the diagonal being in the rear legs and the main hoop being so close to the back of the seat.

I believe I have a set of unused Sparco or Cobra side mounts in a cupboard.

Might be Cobra now I think about it....

I'll check when I'm next out there.
