Title: Mini tub
Post by: tq1 on January 25, 2011, 06:08:16 pm

Sorry for being a pain about this subject but here we go again.I have done a mini tub on my 67 F/B and gained 30mm i think,When i measure face of the drum to rail i get 200mm to the inside of wheel well its 250mm ,drum face to out side fender lip is 100mm (body kit).but drum face to leaf spring is 170mm so unless i move leaf springs i havent gained anything.Is that right or am i going about this all wrong.Would like to order some rims soon:feedback:

Before you did your minitub, the tyre would have rubbed on the inner fender well, before it could even get near the leaf.
You can probably go all the way to the leaf now.
