Those that I made ware also “a pain in the arse”. After making the third pair of wishbones it was finally right.

Hope it made you feel better.

It took me a fair few weeks to get all that sorted!

Worst bit of build 3, attempts still not 100% sure they are right The way I did it was jig the bones up and offer the entire assembly to the chassis eventually got it right only to find top wishbones were wrong length when I put the wheels on!
