Not looking good at the moment.
Unable to get the pinion angle within tolerance. Worrying.

Having another go tomorrow and will re-laser the chassis to make sure nothing is out of whack............not prepared to run a wonky car.............

Aye, we are having another crack at it tonight. We had to make packers for the transmount to shim up the pinion angle...

Also now the car at full weight has settled and we have front end ground clearance issues - mostly due to the monster sump....may have to make packers for the lower bump stops so we don't take out the sump either on rough ground or on landing. More fabriccation, more delays...............
