the new 911w (Read 29,647 times)

[scotty 911w]

well since my prody was written off a season ago i was on the look out for a saloon,while there is plenty of choice out there i had a couple of bullet pionts it had to match,1;has to be a ford 2;it had to be cheap ;D
so i ended up with a cut up lovelady mustang chassis(not much as it turned out to be,but we live and learn) ;)some odds and sods, + 12 tyres,and 4 rims.

the orignal front end was badly damaged and cut off :(so i set about tryin to fix it but couldnt get it to work,,,,,,,,,,,so after several cracks at it(20 cutting and grinding discs later) i decided to copy somone elses ;D

so without much further adue here we go,trial by macgors aye ;D
anything with blue sticker on was put there by me,and yes my welding aint that flash but getting a mig greatly improved things ;D

the car as i got it ;D

the new bottom arms and control arms,by sjr

torque arm bracket by sjr,on diff from mcmoo,cheers

5th and 6th coils by sjr,im sure spring rates etc are all wrong but minor details at this stage

old rad and falcon fans fitted
control arms for birdcage and bracket mounted by sjr


left hand birdcage control arm and j bar mount by sjr,and yes that is the crown wheel mount you can see,yet to be moved.

diff j bar mount and jbar(not quite finished)by sjr

the brand new seat i swaped for some labour and what panelling i got with the car.

the only part of the orignal front i used,the 40*40 bumper


is this standard practice with the morris commercail diffs,?1 bolt holding the wheel assembly on(was like this when i got it)

i still got alot to go but, chin look forward,and keep moving
will try and keep this updated,

thanks to marty halcrow for the front springs and shocks,
greg mudgway(mcmoo)for the diff,
paul sammons for the hq hubs and stubs
and chris hadley for his books, allowing me to copy his front end and the rod ends,all lefties by the way,(beggers cant be choosers)

still going to use falcon 6,they go resonibly well,reliable and best of all cheap ;D
plus it will help with weight distribution as the motor is set back a little further than the 8's.i havent quite decided on efi or carby yet.

is this standard practice with the morris commercail diffs,?1 bolt holding the wheel assembly on(was like this when i got it)

From what Ive seen on a few cars it is standard practice to do this with the commerical diff, but after talking to few guys they said that the bolt always comes loose so they welded it on. I hope this answers your question.

hi codi i was planning to drill and wire it,mind you a tack weld would work just as well i guess

Yeah I guess wire would work just as good, the one that was welded was done at the track cos the nut kept coming loose and needed retighting after each race.

Looking good Scotty! Are you planning to have it out this season??

[Devilracer]

I had the same set up on my first modified diff, the hubs were always coming loose so i sent the diff to Phill Game and he cross drilled another hole and countersunk the bolts. less problems after that.

good luck.

thats the way send it to someone that knows what they are doing

[dirtracer13w]

looks like your getting there mate. be good to finally see it out there. and thanks for the acknowledgement for the hubs etc

[chris13w]

Looks good Scott!

Wouldn't a Nylock nut do the job on the axle flanges though?

Or go all old school - find a castleated nut (like on a front spindle) and put a split pin through it?

Cheers
Chris

The one I was refering to was where the end off the axle had a tread and the hud fitted over the end some how and then a large nut screwed on to tighten the hud onto the end on the axle and the only reson it was welded up was that it kept coming loose while racing and they welded in on at the track, but I have seen cars like scotts with a blot goin through the axle and holding the hub on but never really took any notice how they stoped them coming loose.

That would have been one of the old closed tube Commercials we had to run under the old rules, with standard axles - Scott's one is an open tubed version.

Can't see why the flange would come off as long as you used a bolt with some type of locking nut.

We didnt have a choice in the end as the scrutinner kept checking them each meeting and was never happy with them even when we did weld them on.

I have a closed tube morris commercial if someones got an open tube they wana swap for.
