les - 23/6/07 at 06:04 PM

hi, have spotted a possible sva problem on my avon.

its zetec engined- exhaust on passengers side, the end of the exhaust sticks out very slightly wider than the rear wheelarch, meaning that its the widest part of the car on that side,

anyone think this will be a problem?

It's not bodywork so it shouldn't be a problem.

Is that the narrow wheel arch side or the wide one

I know!!

nearly drove me mad trying to get the bodywork symetrical until i realised they were different!!

Worth checking the measurements for light positions as some are specified relative to the widest part of the car.

You'd have thought Tiger would have invested a couple of hundred quid in a new mould to correct the arch widths by now.

the end looks to be rounded enough,

sva tuesday, so just have to wait and see....

im sure there will be a listg of things to do, just hoping there is nothing requiring major rebuilding, just got the car to the stage its at intime for birth of first son!!

so not quite as much time for building now!!
