Adapted parts on your tube.

Post by m_vice »

Has anyone adapted any B4 parts on their tube? Or adapted any parts from other cars?
I use the B4 CVD axel and BB to be able to use B3 rims, also adapter B4 front steering blocks and T4 axels.
Has anyone adapted any other parts?
Ill post pics later.

Wow! are these direct fit? I mean do you have to dremel here and there or add shims?

The b3 front stuff is a bolt-on, IIRC. It was popular for a short while to do the same on the GT, athough it really didn't make a world of handling difference. The rear I believe is a B4 axle stub and blue spacer to gain a little rear width, again a popular mod for the older gas truck.

Not much point doing the B3 front C hub it'll reduce the track. They moved the kingpin closer to the suspension arm pin to get longer arms than the B2.
Also that rear hub carrier is a 10T/T2/B2 one.

Templeofspeed you are correct.
What I like about the B3 front is that you can move the inside rod mount in the shock tower up to get a more level turnbuckle with the arms and get out of the way of the steering bell crank.

Bugle,
It you use the T4 inline axels with the B3 parts you increase width of the front. You are correct about the hub it is a 10T rear hub carrier. With the B4 Axel and spacer that increases width at the rear.

On the B4 front steering you have to dremel the hinge to mount it to the arm. It also increases the front width of the car.

Has anyone use rear B4 hubs and bones so you can ride B4 rims without decreasing the rear width?
