Adam is correct, and Wardy fabricated the fitting kit himself, based on a
proven design and a little technical direction. Did a beautiful job of it
too, nothing was left to chance under that red 510 rocket, the frontend is
as good as they come and the results (read high speed stability) is worth
the time and money.
Wardy - Disc brake rears next? gotta to be able to stop the beast.

Andrew, I know you addressed this question to Terry, but i would imagine
Terry was referring to strong welds due to the amount stress the chassis
would be under at such speeds...
