    Tyre question again

    Sorry dude I don't mean to panic you. Width and diameter don't really effect each other but 14" stock wheels have a set width if that makes sense and 205's, i thought, would bulge considerably over the edges. Although the tyre is the right diameter eg 14, the tyres are too wide for the wheel...

    Dude are you running 205's on 14 inch stock rims?? If so that is amazing but possibly quite dangerous :shock: This is a well helpful website and little tool witch should help you guestimate what you need. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html :wink:

    Narrowed beam & dropped spindles?

    In general you are looking at between £800 -£1000... if you can weld well you can probably do your own beam and all in your looking at £600. I'm just going doing this at the moment so watch this space - if I am cursing about it in a month you'll know not to bother :lol: PM me if...

    Narrowed beam & dropped spindles?

    Just my humble opinion here as a K&L advocate... you could probably K&l yourself up for £850 - £900 all in, including drum brakes and backing plates. That would give you 3.5" dropped spindles and a beam that would go down 5" to 6" and narrowed by 4" and the ride will be sweet. On the bj...

    What have you done to lower your bay?

    I don't think you can do this dude :( The diameter of the tubes are different. The bolt pattern for a 68 is the same as a 64-67 split so you bolt a split beam straight on without needing to change the end plates. You could maybe make up custom bushes for the narrower K&L pin arms to go in the...

    Howdy

    Cheers guys - thanks :) Underside is pretty solid - scrapping all the old underseal off at the moment to get a proper look at the condition under there but I think there won't be too many surprises. Going to paint the whole underside in por15 so it will last me long time :D

    horse shoe plates....

    Anywhere sell them in the UK? I know wagenswest does but that means I'll have to get them shipped. Does anyone make em? Looks just like a thick piece of sheet steel that shouldn't be too hard to cut and drill. Anyone else thinking this? :?

    balljoint or knl beam?????

    I'm looking to get a narrowed and lowered beam for my 1970 bay... I saw some guy the other day and he said he was going for a split king pin beam as it does away with ball joints... Who sells these... anyone? Plus I am I right in thinking you need new spindles, trailing arms and probably drum...
