Trev, no such thing as Nasco tubs just taking the piss (Ebay)Just trying to make tubs look factory.

If you note inner tub is higher than outer wheel arch , that because chassis is channeled 3.5 inches

thanks for the comments fellas, the engine is just dummed up at the moment , but the air cleaners will end up about 100-150mm above the roof, as i have to manufacture a plenum to weld to the tunnel ram to fit the blower to . had to use a tunnel ram because the 8/71 blower is longer than 6/71 and has to sit over dissy
