I measured the Honda CV joint to the Hewland 6 hole drive shaft. They do not line up. I need to see if the Honda shaft will accept a VW CV joint. May be that is why he had the blueprints of the...

Guess which stub axle uses a 6305 Bearing?!!!!!!! https://www.ebay.com/p/15004104672 The Honda 600! Now to find out the axle width…

Will do!

So the Fastback Stub Axle definitely will not work. It is too wide at its base to fit in the inboard portion of the upright. I was hoping that I could just use another bearing or machine the upright,...

The last date on the blueprint is 1981. The date on the upright is 1979. I hope you guys will for give my ignorance on the rear suspension, this is my first car with CV joints. Since the unfinished...

Correct. The car uses Elva mk7/8 suspension components and came with 4 and 6 lug rims. Norm had a mk3 Elva and it looks like he collected parts from a mk7/8 and used a LeGrand mk18 body and designed...

Found a picture of this in my collection of pictures of the bits that came with the chassis. VW rear axle hub?

I did a quick search for a Hewland mk9 drive shaft an came upon a 12 hole shaft that matched what I was looking for. It would make sense it would be a 6 hole shafts....

Bingo!
I need to get the measurements for the mk9 Hewland 12 hole drive shafts, but it sure looks similar. Norm Hart was an engineer and maybe this was an exercise in being complete and he...

Excellent. Thank you!

Could someone guide me to sizing coilovers to a chassis? Since the body of my car is a LeGrand, but the chassis is at a minimum a modified LeGrand MK18/25 chassis I would like to learn how to...

I have an idea they are Elva MK VIi or similar. Need to measure the brake brackets to help refine the design. It should not surprise me as Norman Hart raced an Elva in the late 50’s.
