I am still thinking I might move the shock mounting points in a little so I can go bigger again, then do that nifty littl "mini tuck / tub trick"

If i get a chance (flat out atm) Ill draw up a crude version of a rim and the distance I worked out to be.

I am almost tempted to try and run a 9" rim but will most likly settle for a 8.5" which will measur 9.5 bead to bead.


ohhh and my brakes are here!

alfa............... yuk!

no it isnt
