Scott's f8c conversion
FYI the Hatch 3 leaf setup is rated slightly lower than the mono parabolic leaf on an MB - if that matters to you.

Ok so I've been racking my brain about this left hand side cv shaft and after a few quick calls today people either don't want to know about shortening it or there is a 2.5 week wait and I don't want it to hold up my conversion process so I've cut it down myself at this stage just to keep going and I'll get one properly cut and shut af a later date...

- Finished product should get me outta trouble for the time being
-
- Cut some 1 inch pipe I had in half and sat over each side and welded up
-
- Made up s little jig to cut the shaft straight, cut 60mm and v the shaft out, welded up and ground back
Interesting that it sits higher with the Matiz struts - you used the Matiz hubs too, right?

been a while since I've posted any updates, a far but has happened, first of all I had a guy basically walk in off the street and offer good money for my mb so I sold it.... tho not all is lost he only bought the car not all the spares and conversion, so I have decided to resurrect the suzuki ss40v hatch I have.
I have now put the f8c conversion in the hatch, wired it and have had it running
p.s if any one is wrecking a hatch I'm chasing parts.

- engine in, sits alot lower in this then the mb bit of a massage and the bonnet will close
Using a Hatch works out well, because the bonnet is flatter and the side wings are higher. No clearance issues for the manifold!
