There are a set of jigs I had cut to Davids design floating about the list. Maybe whoever has them could raise their hand and pass on when finished with.

I have the current ones atm just recieved them from Twinturbo. Not started on the brackets tho but will try and get them done soon as i can. But dont want to rush it as the suspension brackets is a thing i really dont want to mess up :D

I farmed mine out to Handy & Saturn in the end as I was worried the chassis I had may not be too good.

Jimmys Jigs are fantastic though.

Thanks for the replies lads,
I made a jig out of a bit of scrap i had lying around for the rear brackets
the jig is similar to the type that the book uses for the front brackets.
I hope to start on the front brackets tomorrow.
Thanks again,
Darryl
