915 with Subaru Turbo

Hi,

as the nose cone is 20 mm shorter the distance to move forward is 20 mm. By lowering the position of engine and gearbox you can find another cm. My colleague always cut out half of the torsion tube in the past, but did not adjust anything at the nose cone. He had 5 mm space between the nose cone and the half tube then. His engine/gearbox is lowered by this 1 cm.

He told me that with the new nose cone itīs only necessary to grind the thicker ends of the tube and make them flat. Itīs anyway better to drive with spring legs in such a car, than with the torsion bars.

For any other questions please contact me directly!

Cheers Martin
