I did the same when I thought I could use 330 calipers, but decided against it when I looked more closely at what I was doing and the forces involved.
You mean Superdave. He's posted videos on youtube.Duncodin, as yours is going to be as close to the real 507 as you can make a z3, check out the build of a guy that I've been following in ferrarichat.com under the title my BMW 507 project.
You'll need to set up a login so that you can see all the pics. He's in the US and is the guy who sent me scaled drawings of the side vents....I adjusted to suit a smaller area and took the taper out as a personal choice.
It's an amazing thread.
It shows how he built the car from scratch and theres a sectio on how he recreated his rudge wheels. Real nice guy that I've interacted with on a many occasions. His car would be number 253
Started by making a buck. His name is Dave and with a guy with such a skill set, you'd think he'd look down on our fibreglass "nod to's"....but he doesn't, because he's aware of the work that goes into any build.
He recently uploaded a drive by video...stunning. I sent him pics of mine and he said he'd be proud to be see driving it. As I say, real nice guy.
Check him out.
My car is going to be more for 'show' than 'go' TBH. I am confident there is no safety issue with my front calipers, otherwise I wouldn't have done it.
Yep, that's Dave. Real nice guy
What car are you building
Seriously? You haven't seen Pond's build
Nope...only seen this and the 507 handle thread
Back in the day, I had a car, no idea which one, Chevy possibly, the internal of the bolt head was hollow and threaded. Round plastic caps screwed over the bolt heads. Confused me no end when I first saw them. Worked extremely well though, never lost one.
A very expensive one!

Thanks. Will check it outRebody - 250 California build thread for dummies
I am starting a new build thread, as I would like it to be kept on track to this particular build. I would like this to be a thread for 'dummies' or 'novices' like me. I have absolutely no experience of building cars, or even mending them really. If this build can be a help, or even maybe an...
Nice....that reminds me, I need to sort my front wheel liners out
All Dave's YT videos of his build have been taken down? Any idea what's going on there?Yep, that's Dave. Real nice guy
To be honest I've never seen any of his YouTube videos. I've only interacted and followed his ferrarichat thread.
His ferrarichat thread has videos and they're all gone too.
