| Just down the A50 there's JNC racing or Jeff Bloor. Noble Motorsports would also be a good choice, but perhaps about an hour away for you. | |

| You could either take them a kit to bolt in place (which any could do)
Or you could ask them if they'd be happy to fabricate you a mount as required. I'm sure JNC could do that the easiest, if they aren't too stoned. | |

do you mean making a new mount? that would cost more than buying one from Chris there. then its just a bolt in job. assuming you've done the 2wd conversion/drilled and tapped for the rear mount, the only thing that needs modded/welded is the gear linkage. probably a good idea to make sure whoever you take it to knows the ins and outs or you could find it costing a fair bit.
Chris knows exaclty what to do so having to travel an hour doesnt sound so bad IMO.

| no i meant correct positioning of where to weld the mount to etc. How much approx would it cost for the fitment chris? including fitting 2wd conversion and welding linkage etc. Only a guesstimate as i know each job has its own drawbacks which could add to cost etc.
Thanks | |

| I don't see why it should be as they don't have subframes or transfer boxes. | |
