I used a bearing instead of a washer for the slipper instead of the thrust race.

Still if its just a vintage race and all you want to do is basically run a stock zx or better still a relica of Ricks team car then there isnt really much you need to do as the slipper will be more than sufficient, as it can be set up properly with i may add a lot of patience and the friction pads correctly fitted. gear diffs as terry said packed out with thicker grease should be fine.

Steering on the zx in my opinion was better than the bent zxr items but its a possibility that on low grip it may be better but high grip it isnt. Still nothing you need to do except remove bumpsteer.

As terry said if not vintage and your going to gun it then best to buy a front tower like on fibre lyte. The semi circular handle type mount strengthend the front gearbox casing and saved serious damage. Pure ten diffs are great but getting them is not so easy so the alternative is zxr diffs with the ceramic balls.

Post pics when done and at the track. Sounds like its gonna be good.
