Left wheel touching the side pod

[spatz]

I have now built 2 Canams and both have the problem that the left wheel is touching the side pod. Simple question to the factory, why is that not fixed ?
You could just fill the mould with filler at this particular part and generate more space for the wheel. On both cars the right side is fine ?
thanks

Hiya - Front or rear? I have ben involved in about 6 or 7 builds and not come across this problem. Have you got any photos?

gave the car a good clean up saturday for IVA and
have discovered that also the right wheel is touching the side pod. I used
the recommended settings for Height 110mm and supsension but I have not the standard
ultima wheel. Maybe the ultima wheels are offset differentely and go further inside.
However we thought to have copied the ultima wheels correctly.
Still there is a lot more space on the right side then on the left.


The tyre you are seeing has just come on the car this week, it is from my other canam.
The original Good Year F1 has good marks from rubbing the side pod.
