would this work?

[BenG]

When i build my 2wd car now, I plan to use a BJ4 WE rear end a B4 front end.

I want to use B4 parts on the front, I looked at the GT2 front end, but its got differnt steering, and a differnt servo saver. So I looked again at my B4 chassis, and it would be pretty easy to cut the Front kick-up off my b4, and screw it on, I'd try to use as much B4 bracing as possible, but would the front end be weak? Should Imake a top-deck for it?

Thanks for help

i imagine there would be a lot of flex and probably rip off if a bit impact was to happen

a top deck would help but remember the manufactures spend a fortune on getting the chassis to flex a certain amount in certain places

[BenG]

right, ok thanks matey

why would this be 'bad'? and you could always put the B4 steering system in it

[BenG]

I could? Would it fit? Or requre some dremeling . I was think simmalar could be achieved with a B4 front end, which I allready have

[Cooper]

yeah but that would not be so clean and strong like Lee said, well you're the designer, it's your choice

a top deck is a big plus

[BenG]

ok dokey, I'll try a mixture of both, maybe even have a B4 front end machined up in aliminium

[Cooper]

just to be sure, also order the GT2 steering , otherwise you might kill me because I assumed the B4 steering fits.

[Lee]

i dont think the strength of the b4 front end will be an issue as its already proven, it will be the fixing point where the weakness is.

[BenG]

yeah, I tell you what, I'll do both Does the GT2 take a B4 wishbone mount, shocktower e.t.c? Or should I order a GT2 front end?

[Richard Lowe]

I'm not totally sure but it looks like the bulkhead and shock tower mounting points are the same as the B4/T4, it looks like only the steering is different. I would suspect a B4 shock tower + suspention will bolt straight on.

The B4 tower and wishbones will fit onto a GT2 front end, i fitted them last night

[BenG]

cool, thanks for the help

[Cooper]

but the top plate is also different

[BenG]

ack, another spanner in the old works Ahhh, well, I will try using a B4 front end then, and barce it like whoa
