Hi John,
Glad to hear you found the problem...
I don't have the book with me but I guess the clutch pedal is shorter below the pivot bush?
Should be an easy fix them as long as the guide tube through the pedal box still lines up with new position of the throttle connection.

I've not done too much on the car lately. I've tried to spend some time with the kids whilst they're on holiday.
I have drawn up an alteration to my current rear top wishbone. The lower mount for the shock is now above the yoke. I'm hoping this will put less stress on the adjuster. It's now similar to the Sierra setup in configuration.
The position of the lower shock mount is 25mm longer than Saturns plans.




Also when the car is at ride height the shock and top upright pivots are all in line as you can see in this drawing.



This means I've just got to modify my yoke and i guess the shock will need to be 25mm longer..??

What I am trying to acheive by doing this is to use the lower adjusters on the bottom wishbone for "Toe in and out" and also track width. The top will be purely for "Camber" adjustment as I can do this in situ without removing parts. I should be able to get fine adjustment because of the fine pitch thread of the bolt.

Does anybody see a problem with this?? as it's only on paper yet.

Thanks Johno
