Nothing needed shortening, everything is basically in place to fit exactly as it would on a Sierra Cosworth. Handling is excellent, but the diff needs changing to a plated equivelent.

 

Spec list is endless, but consists of the usual Gaz coilovers, Brembo/AP brakes, adjustable TCA, rosejointed, solid mounts etc. etc.

Also my top mounts that Mark's making (exactly like these). So along with my adjustable TCA's, it's all good ;)

Also MK Motrosport are working on a kit to convert from standard cosworth diff to a MK3 Supra diff, which is bigger, has a plated LSD as standard and much beefier ;)

Here's some development pics....

They have loaded all the CAD drawings onto their 5 axis machines and will update as the process develops. Material used is a 080M40 high tensile steel which is used for shafts and stressed pins, so well up for the job!

 

They've decided to make the main mounts that hold diff in beam from billet, which is a very high grade with high tensile strengh. Doing it this way, there's no chance of movement from welding etc, plus the sections will be very thick unlike bits plate but still lightweight being alloy, these will rummbled which is like deburing the surface and peening all in one stops any sharp edges etc were stress points could form then will be anodised for protection.

 

Mine ready to go on...

Some updates from Mark. He's machined the underside of the mounts that feeds the threaded section through the wing mount of the diff itself.
