Delivered today - on a very quick flick through it looks pretty good. If I was feeling generous I might even congratulate Chris

Yup me too... waiting for mine to arrive..
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Message to Chris, already found two minor errors , BUT, very well done mate. Puts the old book to shame.
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

I think there are errors in just about all technical books, would be useful to mention the actual errors in this thread so everyone is aware?

Yep - here they are:-
On page 57 figure 5.4 The support frame for the front lower wishbone plate doesn't have the vertical height dimensions.
The lower end should be 10mm high and the upper end 18.5mm
On page 62 Figure 5.11 shows an angle of 78 degrees - this is incorrect it should be 82 degrees as shown in figure 5.12.
Don't be shy if you find anything.
I'll keep on top of this on the new Haynes forum when it's up and running.
In the meantime accept my appologies.
Cheers
Chris

You're right of course, it's an assumed angle, 98 from 180

same here, the sump mod and the engine mounts look strangely familiar
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Only so many ways to skin a cat mate!
(Especially the same cat)
Actually the sumps not really the same is it and My PINTO mounts aren't like yours at all.

Bought book in motor bookshop in central London. Nicely presented, good value. Impressed by cutting details in Appendix 1 and sump modification looks
nice.
I personally would have liked to see much more on electrics and Calvinx's very clear diagrams of lights positions would have been useful
addition to Legal / SVA Chapter 12. But there again, I know where to find them and I guess you can only include so much.
P25, Fig 2.24 - I think they are called "Lazy Tongs "
Well done Chris - great book.
