I got my rims back from the shop...a friend of mine fabricated a nice set of "spacers" for my new rims; the rims center hole dia. is 73 m.m. and the humbs are 60 m.m., hence an spacer was needed, here some pics:

My parts from UK are coming this week!!!!: CatCams, Forged Pistons, Forged Rods, Engine Bearings, 250 c.c. Weber Injectors & 65 m.m.Throttle Body, I also ordered a 3.8 bar fuel pressure regulator(in case I need it ;) ), next step in to get a new cylinder head(core) so I can send it to the US for a port job...any idea of a good source to get a new cylinder head?

Thanks!

I have to "bend" the lip a little bit more and make some drills for the bolts to hold it from the battery box:

I will keep working as much as I can....

I'm also looking to a set of HighSpec Big Brakes with 325m.m. discs and 6 pot calipers, they cost and arm & a leg but maybe I can save some bucks and get them :p

.in the mean time I will install my SS braided brake hoses, the front ones are easy...but the rear ones not...my stock lines are steel tube crimped to a hose and another piece of steel tubing, I am trying to sort that some how..have some ideas.

Regards

you're looking in the wrong place, look above the axle by the load spring ;)

you only have to replace the short rubber flexible pipes over the axle (about 140mm long, should be in the kit you have), not the the metal crimped ones that go to the calipers

Some pictures from the Brake Hoses, I replace them today.

The rear hoses, crimped to the steel tube:

First step was to cut the tube near the rubber hose:

Then I used a bubble flare tool:

A new tube, bent to the size:

The new Stainless Steel Braided Hose:

Need to order another set of rear hoses to replace these ones:
