I believe that he has contacted Grants, I gave him the info a while ago. I have been interstate a bit lately. I will ask him whats going on. He has been head down bum iup making the extractors and planning the mount positions of the fuel cell, fuel pumps, surge tank, regulators lines fittings etc. Also finalised the roller cam and have been then able to order the JE pistons. The pistons take a few months I am told so we have that time to sort the engine builder out. The Rays wheels are due end of Feb depending on the Chinese new year. We can then pick up the big Brembo 6 pots and rotors. From there its the Motec M800, Fuel injectors, Diff etc etc.... Exciting times when all the parts are arriving. The FAST billet throttle body is a nice piece of work as are the special Glidden/Chapman heads. Can't wait to start to bolt together.
I will chase the old boy up about Grants.
