Hi Baz,

No problem, get your list together & get in touch, happy to help .

Just a thought.....are you going to Stoneleigh kit car show? could bring the parts to the show for you.

As for checking the chassis...........before checking the suspension brackets you need to ensure the diagonal measurements are correct, if they are then other faults can be sorted
If it needs a new front frame then thats easy to sort for you.

It sounds like the chassis was fully welded incorrectly ( need to clamp it down & alternate the welding process from side to side/front to back etc), if its been fully welded all along one side at a time then heat distortion will cause the chassis to "lift", again.....depending on where this has occurred it can be sorted.

another check to do is the height of the chassis, should be as per book spec & be even all around at same points on either side etc...........then check the suspension brackets .

hope you get it sorted.

cheers
andy
