andy is so tight he cant squeek. its not like he cant afford it, the real problem is that he thinks it might wear his trousers thin from the friction of making the squeek.

only kidding

Andy braggs that he managed to get his lights cheep, but he fails to mention that he got so carried away at the rally design stand he had to call home for a budget increase

what i didn,t tell you Ash was that i had to do the washing up for a week for the budget increase
if i,d not phoned home to "ask permission to spend more" i,d have been sleeping with my dogs outside in their kennels for a week
mind you.... wouldn,t be the first time i,ve slept with a dog or two

what Ash didn,t tell was that we then teamed up to try & get a bigger discount off the fancy dash he intended buying, it worked to a point

I did manage to make the lower wisbone plates by hand the biggest problem being bending them. The fabrication just required a lot of patience and more time than money. Bending them was acheived in the end by heating the plate and bending in a vice. I have to admit to being seriously pleased with the end result. I made my wishbone brackets not totally happy with them but they are on the car and everything fits and moves as it should do

Default front suspension brackets and jigs

Hi. I was wondering if someone could help me in fig 4.25 it shows you must put a spacer when using the jig to attach the front brackets now does those spaces go on the front part only or on top and bottom and the inner brackets to
