On diffs the series I and II had thinner axles than the series III and different spider gears as a result. Series III had 113.4 x 4 not 100 x 4 stud spacing.

Chrome Moly flys are bit heavier than the aluminium ones & alleviate the associated probs' found with the Alum' ones, esp' on smaller 4 banger engines such as our Mazda fiends! Like the one Sir Gav has now Best of both worlds. FTAflys!

Mine was steel, 12A diamater and the clutch plate had splines for the series IV box.

Back on wheels, this is what a series 1 should look like IMO.



I havn't seen Miles in a few years but he builds a wicked rotor.

gotta love the old school bathurst globes, nearly bought a set for my old gemmy

those super light wheels will look trick in a a nice gunmetal grey, have you thought about what colour you want to go with on the car?

you never cease to amaze me Cosmo. That's one friggin light steel fly mate The 323's are more like 8.5-9kgs stock. Perhaps the rotory's are thinner? Anyway, full points for the heads up. Thanks. Also, to think those globes have been around since 1970 @ least

Must admit that I needed a rear counterweight from an auto, Mazda cast these into manual flys and the 12As have a small diameter clutch but this setup needed the LSD to control the 'spin or stall' characteristics.

quite clever than really. These rotaries are certainly full of surprises

Either a gunmetal grey or black, swaying towards the gunmetal as to paint it black there will be a fair bit more prep work involved.

13's will be on till i find something nicer, but for $150 i think they will suit

And that RX7 above, IMO has too much fat. Mine wont have the batman wing, and not planning on flares at this stage. Haha
