Normally to get that John...they need the back welding and dressing and the back plate modifying to allow the ball joint to slide through...it needs looking at to be sure that those figures can be attained.

Not wishing to contradict Adrian, bu I currently run those settings. I am not aware of any mods that were needed to get to that point, but I will say tyhe more I look at our "ex works Production Race Car" the more I wonder how legal it was in its days. I will post a photo of the wish bone and some odd looking rear uprights as an example of what probably is not a production part when I can, but uploading seems to be an issue at the moment?Adrian@

Hi John,
The rear casting is as it would be IF the flashing on the casting would of been dressed leaving as much material as possible on the upright...your top front wishbones are not OE they have been tweaked to allow you better camber..ask your man to swap the rear upright pivot bolt to go in from the front, to back, as then the bolt head only sticks out, then under full compression the extended thread and nut will miss the spring...TOO pretty, to be covered by the body shell.

Bolt has been changed out after an earlier comment you made
It's quite bling, but easy to keep clean I hope LOL

Maybe you have changed it already? but the caliper is upside down...this way its wrong,Front is loose fitted to allow trial fit of cockpit operated adjustable ARB
but I guess you know that? the air release valve has to sit on top, otherwise air could easily trap in the pipe/bridge.

John,
Did I see a post somewhere that it was you... using a clear plastic on the front screen to stop stones breaking the screen, if so ,then obviously this is a racing car 'trick' as you rarely use the wipers and it is replaceable in moments and cheaper than a screen.

Not me Adrian, I have a deep plastic "visor" as the top of the screen is the bit that normally takes the stone hit?Did I see a post somewhere that it was you... using a clear plastic on the front screen to stop stones breaking the screen, if so ,then obviously this is a racing car 'trick' as you rarely use the wipers and it is replaceable in moments and cheaper than a screen.
