windband set up
total rebuild of the pinto, to a nice spec,
new manifold for bike carbs
dizzy non-vav advance this time
Burton cam cover
Westfield alu sump
shiny indicator stalks
carbon rear arches

still doing the carbon work it will not be perfect but it will do for now until next winter)

Couple of questions about wishbones, are they just rosejointed or do they allow you to move the wishbones back 15mm to help self centering and does the Transit drag link joint screw into the wishbone or does it use the alloy adjuster.

hi there, it still does have the thread for the Transit drag link at the top.

and yes they do allow the wishbone to move back more, not quite sure what distance yet, as i will be getting Danny to set my car up for me

Shame about them not taking the adjuster as it saves having to take the mushroom out to adjust the camber also allows for fine tuning camber as you're not restricted to one complete turn of the joint.
