So finished the design for the subframe and hub carriers - so the rendering looks like this for the rear:

I got the guys at AK Stainless to do all the cutting of the parts from that rendering:-


Then set to putting the bits together, got both of the hub carriers tacked together ready for seam welding:-




Test fitted the hub disk and caliper frame



And then built the other side

And finally built the first section of the subframe and test fitted it:-

nice to get things moving again - did find the exhaust manifold exited right onto the subframe cross bar but I knew that was going to need work anyway!!
