25.01.2022 Barry requested the rear suspension to be upgraded, we installed new tubs, Gazzard bros single leaf spring and track rods, Viking Crusader double adjustable shocks, anti roll bar, Wilwood brakes. Will be interesting to see the results.

25.01.2022 Due to an unprecedented demand on our product range we cannot promise orders placed now to be delivered prior to the start of February 2021. It is still advisable to place your order so that you are in the system.

25.01.2022 4 LINK CLIP CHASSIS RAILS NOT SO PERFECT Cheap 4 link clip chassis rails, have wrinkles on some (not all) bends. Are the correct shape though.... Normally $230.00 each, Asking $120.00 each

24.01.2022 Always good to see customers projects coming together. These pics were sent to us recently, and it's looking the part. Stepped rails, 4 link, Viking coil overs, fab 9" housing, disc brakes.

23.01.2022 We wish to advise our customers that McDonald Bros Racing is still operating at 100% and will not be laying off employees, we will continue to support our staff & customers as best we can and we will continue to supply. As such we will still be taking phone orders on 03 9465 0000 and using Direct Freight Express to deliver. We are a family owned business and have been operating for 50 years and we will continue to supply our product range in this trying time.

23.01.2022 We build diffs, any configuration, any length, suit any application from street to full on race. From mild to wild. Flange 31 & 35 spline flange axle to 31, 35 & 40 spline floater, with street or race disc brakes to suit.

21.01.2022 UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND IS DELAYING DELIVERIES A few months ago, with the COVID-19 pandemic looming, we were unsure about our future. We were prepared for the worst: A drop in sales, a scaling back of our production output, or even a "hibernation" of our business. ... Instead, something we could never have foreseen occurred - you rallied behind us, and kept purchasing the McDonald Bros Racing and Viking product range. The support you have shown has not only kept us in business, it has in fact meant that current demand for our products has outpaced our ability to supply. Unfortunately this means, for a short time, there will be some delays on certain products. We apologise for this, but promise we will rise to this challenge. We thank you for your continued support, and ask for your patience while we work through the demand.

19.01.2022 Anti Roll Bar Kit We have updated these kits with alloy mounting bracketry to mount either on the side of the chassis or underneath. This unit can be adapted to fit any chassis application. The kit is made so it is possible for you to pre load the chassis, eliminating body roll during hard launches. This allows the car to drive straighter off the start line and help improve 60ft times. Kit includes a 4130 chrome moly torsion tube, 6061-T6 billet alloy arms, left & right hand threaded adjuster links, mounting tabs and hardware. Price is $500.00 for either kit

As a complete kit including the Viking coil overs and Panhard bar is $1995.00

11.01.2022 We don't often do Borg Warner diffs. Had a customer that required this Nissan RB31 diff to have our LH-X Torana bracket set welded to it. Configuration worked out well with not a lot of weld on the cast centre section. To supply the brackets and weld them onto your diff is $600.00.
