I think I'm just going to change the arms to works arms so I can use the zc422 universals I have.

Yeah, the wide kit use the outer hole on the front arm and had a very thin wheel hub. The track width wasn't changed, but the pivot points were moved out.

Yeah I played around with that a bunch and I figured since I bought a fiberlyte works 91 chassis set I will just make it look like a works 91.

I think 91 was updated to 93 style moving forward. Also used on yr4 series cars, so mid production yr4 should get you the parts you need

Fine pitch belt system on it's way as well. I have been trying to whiten the yellowed bulkhead caps but it doesn't seem to be working so I think I will just paint these ones.

I just whitened my motor mount cap, took about 10 days in hydrogen peroxide. It never came out Snow White but it did take out a huge yellow discoloration and a few shades.

I'm going to try and dye the bulkhead caps today with just hot tap water. Has anyone had luck doing this without ruining them?

I've never heard of someone being successful with it

You will warp them.

Just noticed the hot "tap" water. That shouldn't warp them, but doubt they will take color.

Ok guess I'm painting them today.
