Will the lower tube clear the steering rack Ross
I had to put an angle into that bit to clear the rack --- look at the thread of my rebuild after hitting the tree
Looks as though the measurements I gave you have worked out ok for the new wishbones . Good thing Tim isn't operating or you wouldn't have gone my route with the front end widening then be missing out on a totally adjustable front end ---- well done you , a brilliant job nicely done and Tim would love to see what you've done with that particular car
He hated working on it because the guy wouldn't let him sort it properly then blamed him for the result. The frame design can be sen on TOPIC chassis , engine , suspension

excellent work, out of interest, why did you point the inlet for the inlet manifold to the rear, will your intercooler be at the front?

I went for a charge cooler which will be mounted at the rear of the engine, there's a big space in front of the firewall. Also shortens the track length quite a bit which will means better boost response
Rob: yea thanks for the help with the front suspension really appreciate it!
Regarding the frame hitting the steering column its already fitted no problem

Happy Birthday Ross !!
21 today eh, I thought you had a few more years on you than that !
You've got a lot of engineering skills already that most will never have - make sure they're not wasted
Matt.
