That must have been a bummer but an easy error to make.

If only my cock up was that easily sorted

As you know, I have been spending the last couple of weeks having a darn good clear out of years n years of clutter that I have been hoarding in the workshop.

My build is now sitting proudly on its wheels in the middle of the workshop. I have oodles of room to wander about & admire my progress.

I have the rear wheels on my extra level section of the floor ( Used to be my fabrication area ).
Thinking that this would be an ideal chance to set the rear wheel camber, I grabbed my MF builders square for some initial indication of the amount of adjustment required.

Squatting down by the rear wheel, ohhh the bliss of having the room to sit on the floor next to the build

My joy was very short lived !!??

I soon noticed that I have sort of, er um ........... have the upper rear shock mounts in the wrong place ( Too far to the rear ) & the shocks are slightly on the piss

They are going to be a real bar-steward to cut off. Kinda hoping i'll be able wash them off with my BOC Firefly gas axe without causing too much heat distortion.

If the worst comes to the worst, I guess i'll have to re-work the plates

If that is the only major cock up that I make during the build, i'll live & learn !!
