    That is one hell of a project Tony!

    Different wheels on each side - just like the 75 restoration happening on the 75/ZT owners club, quite a co-incidence.

    Am I right in thinking the hairpins aren't strong enough for a V8? Otherwise you could beg the two hairpins they have got and make up a set.

    Hi Ben, Yes, it is and will be one hell of a project!! The wheel count is one Apex, two Hairpins and one Straights. You are right, the Hairpins are not suitable for a V8 - I'm planning to end up with four Straights down the line.

    good luck with the project. Nick at Austin Garages has a preproduction V8 and may be able to shed some light on any odd parts you find. His has Rover springs and an odd custom airbox amongst other things.
