Default Must have been having a bad week? :rolleyes:

Well I must have had a bad week a last month when I started doing the rear section, including the diff cage and roll bar support platforms.

After starting to finish off the rear section, it turned out that the diff cage was 13mm off centre, and that I miss off both RS15 for the roll bar support platforms. So out came Mr Grinder and I've spent today and yesterday correcting my mistakes.

At least now I know my chassis will be pretty much spot on.

What a bummer mate

Glad you have sorted it though

I think my worst one was on the lower wishbones !!

Spent a full afternoon marking out the 5mm plates, took extra care cutting them out, fettled them .... So far, so good & well pleased with my afternoons work.

Next morning i made up the lower wishbone jig ..... Mr muppett here ony went & used the wrong size tube on the bones, used the 3/4" instead of the 1"

Needless to say I was straight on the phone to 3GE & bought a new pair of wishbone plates .... No way I was going to mark those out for a second time
