Must be modding them though to get that sort of wheel size in there.
Hi Spookypt, the choice for rear cradle was simple - Skyline, the front was more difficult but then I saw something I really liked and could make it work - Mazda RX7 twin turbo SD3FS and the rest is history. Considered the best handling AC Cobra in SA by the certifying Engineer. All upgrades available for better brakes, callipers etc.. We run power steering as STD. The front end has 8 Degrees anti-dive, 9-11 degrees positive castor and Bump steer is almost eliminated altogether. The sensation is equivalent to driving a BMW but it is an AC Cobra...
And to get those rear wheels to fit in is as simple as changing the cradle for a five link live rear axle system. Panhard rods are not an issue with minimal travel on this type of vehicle.

Regards
Wil
