A quick update. I picked up a pair of rear wishbones from Sals the other week to complete the rear subframe build. Had them shotblasted first
I added some extra weld to stiffen them up a bit, not sure if this will work or not but whilst they were nice and clean I had nothing to lose so I added a 2" run at each end and one in the middle.
Painted and new Powerflex bushes installed. Hopefully I should get the rear subframe and the bigger rear brakes fitted next weekend
I took the block to work a while back and had the deck height measured, all the info I had seen on the net said the deck height on an AAT block was 236mm but mine measured 236.53mm. I'd already used 236mm to spec the pistons so it should mean I had to skim 0.53mm from the deck.
I thought this was close enough
I dropped the block off at the machine shop today to have the extra material skimmed off.
