    Rebuild

    Some good pics here

    Glad to see they've got rid of that hideous roll cage & replaced it with a better one.

    They don't look far off the money?

    Can't see the wall thickness though.

    Look at the thickness in comparison to the wishbone and suspension link components, they must be at least 18mm or so? they'll be solid bar with bends in like that.

    Re: Rebuild

    Looks lovely, much better.
    Note rubber bushed tie rods and non adjustable steering arms though..... Still quite a few Stradale components being used.
    if it's going to be a true group 4 and used in anger it needs the right parts to get the most out of it.

    It is still a bit Stradale(ish), isn't it?
    The pedal box isn't a works type conversion either?

    Oh dear, John.
    Are those front caliper brackets relying on only two of the four mounting bolts?
    It's funny how skinny the front upright extension looks compared to a Hawk?

    Actually, those are correct. That's how the four pots were mounted.

    The rear uprights have double caliper mountings, Stradales don't.
