I've already got the conversion flywheel, and clutch disc, and I don't know why mid support would be necessary, but it might be a good idea, since the area where the rear support comes from is not particularly strong. The big problem with mid support is that it then has to be perfectly aligned with the rear supports, or you create more stress than you remove. I don't know what "forks" you're looking for. You've already got the IRS diagonal arm pivot points, right? > I am however going to use the t-4 D-jet FI on this project, so I'm > still searching for some FI stuff. I've got some t-4 D-jet parts that I don't need: IAD, CSV, intake runners, dist, probably brain and pressure sensor.
