Next up a job I've been putting off for some reason, front indicators,

First up drilled a small hole to check it looked about right



I had to open some grommets up as the fiberglass is quite thick

Glued some indicators into some carbon tube





These will push in either side and join with this and the wires will come out the sleeving



My mate lent me his laser alignment gear, and left me to it!

Bit more of an update,

Lifted my ride height up a bit, 5" front 6" rear, got all my camber and toe adjusted

Then checked the bump steer, to start with from ride height it full bump it was toeing in 4mm a side

After sliding the rack up a bit on the slots I've now got

0mm total toe at full droop

2mm total toe at ride height

2mm total toes at full bump

Which according to my mate who lent me the lasers should be ok



Just need to put the springs back on the shocks, and get the ride height correct and then corner weight it when it's finished and double check the alignment

Next up, I've filled my iva forms out and sent them off! Woo hoo





I have been on with other bits and bobs but still got a bit to do, I need to get cracking!
