John,
My Ulsteroid is on a shortened Ruby chassis. The inner lugs were cut from the rear axle. I had longer spring pins machined up then assembled the axle and springs and welded the lugs back on in the new position. All quite straightforward. The propshaft was cut and shortened - cutting through the weld at one end to free the UJ yolk, shortening the tube and welding back together.
All done as a youngster with no ability or experience whatsoever!
At about the same time a friend shortened his at the front end - making up a new, wider nose piece. The modifications got very complicated indeed so I reckon I made the right decision!
Peter.
