You could always give me a set out of pity

The dual bearing hubs are very hard to find, cant belive that guy had 8 sets and I missed all of them!! Great looking car BTW!! Should make a great racer., I know you most likely want to keep it all schumacher but you could consider running RC10 front hubs and carriers, giving you more wheel and ti...

Pretty much the same as the single bearing hub, to look at....

Thanks

My favorite cars are Schumachers which works out well in the Uk. If you can stomach paying the postage the Cougar mk1, 2 and club 10 have come up quite regularly on ebay uk since I've been looking these last few months. I have the single bearing hubs at the moment. But would like the upgrade to dual...

The body and wing are painted and fitted :D Its a very fiddly job getting the shell cut and holes in the right place for the undertray but now it done incredibly satisfying. There are a few small jobs to do before race day but I couldn't resist taking a few pics. Schumacher ProCat.jpg Schumacher Pro...

Turned out killer 8) Todd Thanks Todd. I'm very pleased with the results, the red wheels and yellow body were requested by the organisers of The Brett Davis Vintage GP as a homage to Brett and Brum. Really looking forward to driving it now hopefuly I can get to a track before the race to work on th...

The Car is ready just need to get the ProCat finished now.

repro gear covers and body shells are easy to get hold of, contact Steve from penguin body shells on eBay , he'll sort you out

Thanks again Adrian, I will do that

Lik...

wow. X11 and Vaga Elite two of the best looking cars I have seen. Thanks for sharing the pics and info. I see their website is up again, does that mean you can get spares again and start racing your Vega?

that will be a nice car, good luck with build.

schumie-spares.co.uk and thirteenracing.com spring to mind
If it uses the same pro shocks as my Cat 2000EC Schumacher racing-cars.com have some spares left but not enough to build a complete shock.
