Any developments or shall I put the swing arms back on the car now?

No, no. Not yet. Philbert and I are waiting on pricing. The guy wanted to do some figuring, before he gave us a price. So, the project is still on.
We are also looking at possibly allowing more space between the arm and the wheel rim, so wider tires can be fitted without spacers or different offset. If I remember right, there is only about ½" clearance on original wheels/tires and the arm. That won't cost more, once casting, but a bit of modelling (not fashion  :D ) will be needed.

A bit more clearance will be a good idea. I was using a 215 size tyre on an ET27 rim and had some rubbing which made me drop back down to 205's. I would like to go back to 215's if possible, which this would achieve.
