Scored this front brace off eBay for £4 and the front end is nearly complete!

Carbon tube in the pic is for me to make up some nose tubes!

Sorry for the upside down pics! Bloody I phone! If you click on them they are the right way round!

Quick question, any benefit of using buggy steering set up/Bell cranks over the truck ones??

Looking good, can't wait to see the finished results.

Ditch the 10T bellcranks, they are horrible on anything other than a shelfer. Use the worlds steering as it's much better, especially with bearings. Also, pick up some button head 8/32 screws to use for the steering and that will be one serious truck!!

As per the advice I’ve fitted the worlds steering set up now

Took the grinder to some CS washers so the Ali AE screws don’t take too much of a hammering
