    There were two different cars. The earlier skinny one was steel and my friend owned it recently ran 15x15 centerlines. The fiberglass version which was driven by kev jenkins ran much smaller, must have been 10 or 12 inch prostars.

    That's the axle from the car my mate Adam bought (V8 jago on this site), we got the car from Ray Irish's place minus axle. That car ran 15x15's within stock arches, like this. Cool car! I was gutted when he decided to sell it especially as he intended to bring it out looking just like this again

    I Think you'll find that was the later fiberglass car. Brett fetherstone drove the one we're talking about.

    This is the car your axel came out of. I think your axel is about 29" I was told that the reason it twisted when it launched was the fact that the axel was so short.






    I was putting +2" arches on it and there was around 5 or 6 inch left, And i think with the standard arches there was around 3 or 4 inch.
    The only thing to think is it had very wide tubs so the 18.5 tyres fit easy under the arches. Ive included a few pictures so you can have a look and see what i mean.
    I wish i had kept it and made a start and struggled on with it, Reason i sold it was my 2nd son was due and time and money was tight and the pop was just sat undercover looking all sad and wanted to be built
    I am 100% sure that your axel came from this car and brett was the driver...

    The guy who bought the car of me was hoping to have it ready to take to the nostalgia nats this year. I hope it is out as im looking forward to seeing it. The guy was not going to put it back to its origional paint sceem which is a shame but he bought it so its his choice.
