Hi Davie,
sounds like you have been busy
most folk tend to buy in the suspension brackets purely for the reason you state, i admit i bought mine pre made so not sure how to get the holes to line up, maybe bend the plates then drill the holes, not sure if that makes it easier tho
sorry i can,t remember off hand which way CP10 goes, if my car was at home i could check but its 10 miles away from home, maybe someone else knows for sure?
cheers
andy
