Posts: 5 777Yea mate, I cut a lot top and bottom, dummied it up with a piece of 10mm thick timber, then replicated it in steel. The idea is is takes the torque as it loads up, works great.

Posts: 5 777I think it’s VERY engineer dependant. My engineer for example didn’t even want to look at the brake lines I had made, his theory was more that it had to pass all the dynamic testing, if it did that I obvioulsy did a good job of the lines. Line locks might be a bit like brake bias adjusters, and Varex exhausts. As long as it can’t be reached/adjusted by the driver whilst driving the car they are OK. Again though dependant on the engineer!

Posts: 5 777Just got off the phone to Ryan who is making the drop box. It’s all don’t he will be posting it in the next day or so. Unfortunately I have bloody stuffed my ankle so haven’t been about to get out other than hp getbt up on the hoist and have a quick look at it. Doesn’t look like any oil leaks or anything good like that so as soon as I am mobile again will get it set up and see where it’s sitting dB wise with the new tune.

Posts: 5 777So once you start making too much for an M80 in an IRS Commie the choices become a little more expensive.
Pretty much it comes down to some sort of fabricated Ford 9″ conversiion like the G Force, and the numbers start pushing $10k.
The Aussie alternative is a Harrop 12 bolt, bolt, which is essentially a remanucatured Chev 12 Bolt. For the record the crown wheel is 8.9″ so I guess it could be called an M89 These are around the $5k mark.
Either are a good option, imo what the Harrop has going for it is this;
1. Its a direct bolt in replacement for an IRS VR
2. Its an Australian product sold locally
3. Its not Ford
4. Harrop, although expensive, are recognized as top quality
5. Its available in a full range of ratios
6. The help, advice and service I have received by Mark at Harrop has been excellent.
7. They are available in a range of ls options, locker, tru trac etc.To give an idea, this is the 12 bolt and M78 side by side

Posts: 5 777Hi mate (and welcome) the attachments is just a quick way to load small images. The way the forum works for larger and multiple images is like most forums, if you sign up for something like photo bucket (totally free btw) you upload the image to that then cut and paste the image code.
