Almost Sorted..
So it is settled... I have a a 66 floor Pan..
Now my next Question, will any SWINGAXLE box (1500 for Strenth/Ratio's)
fit in the chassis, with regards to the Shift linkage and or 'NoseCone'...
ALSO, there are DiscBrakes on the rear so it I score a 'Drum to Drum' replacement Box, will it be straightforward to swap out the Drums for
the Disks...
Will I have to Swap over My Tunnels and Axles onto the New box..?
I will be getting a Manual in the next day or so but I am sure there will not be much info concerning the brakes considering I am guessing that these
DiscBreaks are a MOD...
So I am almost there.. just need the Car to arrive at my place and to fing a Box..!
BTW, The engine is a Subaru so no probs there,
Thanks again for all the Help..
