i have an empyre wide boby kit and yes i did also get the top dash piece. i am thinking of using it just so the hood and all looks right but i am not going to use the stock plastic dash. i may wind up building a whole new dash from scratch but not sure yet.
i am dropping the dash at least 4" and at this point i am think of moving it 4 inches towards the rear. just wanted everyone's input.

since you have it all the way down to the frame i would suggest gusseting the frame were the a arms attach, the frame tends to bend there. looks awesome so far.

yes i plan on boxing in all those area's and plating all the pivot point's.

Great thread! Looking to do much the same thing myself soon.

Question: What is a good starting point for a comfortable placement of the seats so you can still see over the hood? What I mean is how far down and how far back? I am 6'3" if that makes a differance.

TIA

im also looking for a rotax if anyone has one they want to get ride of.

 

[livnlo]

there seems to be less and less of the rhino left. i figured if i am going this far why not go further and further make it better .....stronger.....cooler. i look forward to input and to making more progress.
thank you to all who have helped.

Whats up with this project? Any up dates? Could you tell me how wide the bottom of your frame is?

 

[livnlo]

bottom rails are 65" wide. with where my seats ended up i could have made this a little shorter but too late know ) sorry i have been neglecting my project. i did get the rotax motor in and all lined up but not much since that. i have alot of parts coming in and hope to get back on it very soon. i have been super busy getting everyone's rotax rhino harness done. once my parts show up i am going to start spending at least one night a week on it and hopefully some time over the weekends as well. will get updated pics up as soon as there new progress to show.
