Just tubes?  if so just narrow them yourself, take ends off, shorten tube by 3inches and refit ends Wink   But it worries me you want some, thought you wanted to go quicker?

I've always believed a narrowed rear is better?

No, we?ll make raised mounts for the transmission.

My race car knowledge is not at all as good as it could be,

But other than the camber change, what?s different?

Limiter straps helps on the ?off the gas? part surely?
