Tts not Mosner , its a completely custom application for this build . There are axles from Mosner . I'm not sure of the flange to flange as I don't have the spec in front of me . I will post them up tomorrow

Actually no , we were not tubing it . Customer wanted a super strong setup in the back

i'm interested in following this. i'm kinda concerned that the 406 we're building may be a little too " healthy " for the c3 rear. i don't want to back half my car but i don't want to leave a trail of shrapnel behind me either

Looks like a really interesting build. I really like how varied all the projects are that you do.

Making some good progress on the 71

We will be using the Heartbeat from Magnuson , so it should clear .

Wow! Just look at those control arms! Funny that those are what I pick out.
I'm sure Taylor would be interested to hear how you decided to mount the engine relative to the firewall.

Looks like a deadly build!
