Fitted me new frount spring hangers ,,,no problems except a bit tight on the Caltracs ,,few folding wedges and a HAMMER and it fitted like a glove.....Reinforcing plates fitted as well..... Ride is now as low as i dare go without rubbing the arches ,and i have four set up options for getting the right set up ,,,if i ever find the time to go racing :? Sliders will be a bit more involved welding etc so that will wait for a bit

Pete,
Glad to see your still battling on, despite the cold weather elements :thumbright:

Looking forward to seeing the return at the track
