145" Slingshot build in the UK
Ponti:
Cheers Dave,
I'll get a hold of him, my other half is visiting friends in Texas next month so might be able to reduce my shipping costs and get stuff sent there.
Ponti:
Well I have been out working on the Ol' girl the last few days. I have managed to make a temp rear axle so I can work out the axle lengths, and get it looking more like a race car. I've primed the parts of my front end, and a few other bits. I am also working on my powergilde and have had to trial fit it to work out lengths and such, so while I was at it I just HAD to drop a block in, ,oh and maybe a head, rocker cover and intake. lol
rooman:
Is that a Standard 8/10/Cadet steering box?

TBH I can't be fully sure as a good friend sourced it, but I think it was a Fiat 500, it's a cast alloy case.
rooman:
The Standard has a cast alloy case with four bolts holding the ends in place. It is actually reversible as the internals can be flipped to put the splined end (for the column) at either end of the box. We started using them as they were much lighter than the cast iron Austin A30/35 box and did not have a built in steering column like the BMC box. If you box does not have metric fasteners is is probably the Standard unit.
