Cheers Gary, for the steering, I have had various ideas, myfavourite is finding one which fits that is shorter, like S12 silvia P/S arms, but they bring the strut in relative to the balljoint and I don't want t lose any negative camber or track. I want to check out 280ZX ones, but this is all a bit of a long shot.
A common method here it to cut and reweld them, not strictly legal but the people who recommend doing this say they have run them for ten years and have never heard of them breaking.
The other method I am considering is to make some new ones from scratch. Get the profiles cut then machine them.
I would be very keen to see how you did it, photos would be great!
Also I really need to stiffen the body shell expecially in the strut tower areas- after the first stage the strut tops were mushrooming up and there are signs of panels moving at the joins...
