Wow! That's impressive
Well jell of your shiny diff
Did you re-finish the cross members and chassis support, they look great too!
Let us know how you get on at Bedford on monday (?), interested to see if that set up rubs on full load?
Did you get the thing corner weighted? What did it come in at?
Thanks, Yeah I had it all powder coated while it was off.
I'll keep you updated, I'm pretty confident I wont get any rubbing... I'm running a 5mm hubcentric spacer to keep the tyre away from the spring perch - It fits without but there is less than a 1.5mm of clearance with a 265 tyre.
I have not had it corner weighted, Would you recommend this?
Looks great.
I was thinking more about the wings rubbing rather than the inners, but sounds like you've thought it through well enough. Let us know. On the one hand I'm keen to run a square setup for obvious reasons, but the other worries about loss of steering feel and the effect on the rack. Most of the 'cheapo' new mclarens run a 225 front section tyre I think, albeit a very different car I do wonder whether the ability to rotate tyres and perhaps provide greater front grip is outweighed by the negatives. Keen to see how you find it..
As for corner weighting, well given you now have the ability to do it and were setting up the suspension, personally I would have done it, but hardly the end of the world, you can do that some other time.
