Shock mounts... maybe...

Thanks, definitely looks like this bracket takes care of both trailing arms and shocks. I'm loving this rear more and more, and I'm a breast and leg guy :wink:

How much was your postage to the USA from Hong Kong. I just got a text from DHL saying the parcel will be delivered to me on Tuesday.

Emilio. My postage was $80.00 also. I am getting very aroused waiting for it to turn up. From your photos it looks very good quality.

What do I think of your Ford? God I want it! I'm going to do the Lotus again one day but with a different approach for a plug. As for quality of the rear, I'll quote member K "'extreme value for money' Tell us what you think when it arrives.

Emilio I am sad to say it is not mine. I am waiting for the guy to mould some. Hopefully it will be this year. He has not done a proper mould yet. I offered to do the mould for him at no cost. I hope he accepts my offer.

Graham that would be a dream for me to have this ford for a project, please put me down on the list. If I make a wood plug of the lotus, maybe when it's all said and done you could see if you want to do a plug for it?

Emilio. That would be no problem on your plug.

The guy is doing a full fender set up for the body. When I eventually get one I will open the boot and doors also fit opening windows. He has been working on the project for approx. 2 years. I am getting more aroused which must mean the diff is getting closer.

I got the diff today and it will be perfect for the T model. It is already in pieces. Over the next week I will replace the axle tubes. Add brake backing plates and fit hydraulic disc brakes to it. The $299.00 price tag works out as VERY good value for money. Sorry to hear you are letting yours go. I will start a new thread and do a photo build of the T model.
