HMMMMMM, Deep breath.
Firstly I would like to thanks Martin Keenan and Baz for taking the time to contact me to discuss the situation. Martin sent me an email last night
saying that he will put right any issues I have with my car FOC.
Martin said that when he designed the car it was designed to be run at 5-7 deg of castor. When the company was sold he sold all of the jigs to MK
Sportscars and that is AFAHK what is still being used to make the wishbones. He has asked me to make clear in no uncertain terms, he has nothing to
do with MK Sportscars
I also spoke to Baz at MK Sportscars and I spoke to the wrong person, who perhaps was not the best person to put technical problems to. He added that
MK wishbones have 5-7 degs of positive castor built into them and assured me that my Locost will have the required castor incorporated into the
design.
As you may have already guessed my car is at Procomp, who first pointed out the issue. Procomp are currently setting a MK car to race spec and have
offered to do the required modifications to help me out.
At the minute, both MK and Procomp are saying differing things about the geometry, TBH this is the last of my worries as I just want to make the grid.
So can can we consider this matter closed

Absolutely amazing...
Grown men and manufacturers arguing about what is right or wrong. The results are shown on the track (racing setups/geometry) against road setup
(comfort/handling). You cant have the best of both and all advice relative to such is subjective.
It's always the same old chestnuts that oik themselves out of the woodwork to have a stab, then oik themselves away again... there is little
wonder this forum is spiralling downhill.
ATEOTD - you get what you pay for... if you want a racer - go to Caterham. Every other 7type Kit is an aspiring Caterham...
This is my first and last post in this thread... it's a joke!

If you really want to stop this "carry on" just delete your first original post of the thread and it will be gone.
