and finally they're on the car.....
It's been a bit of a wait but the new wheels are here and on the car.We've also been down to WRE to get the car baselined again.After seeing a couple of photo's from the Bug Jam Jon felt there was something amiss with the set up.As usual he was 100% correct.Seems that making the shockers actually move how they are supposed to has altered the geometry a LOT.We now have the right weights and the right castor,camber and toe in.Big thanks to Jon for getting me in so quick.I can't stress enough the benefits of having a guy like Jon Webster looking after your chassis tune up.It's a huge part of the overall performance of any team..
One thing i have noticed over the last couple of meetings is that the brakes have developed a bit of judder when slowing down after the run.On checking today i noticed that the one front hub has .060" of run out!! Over the winter we had to resleeve the one hub because the bearings caps had moved.Looks like this one has done the same,so It'll be up to Nigel's to get fixed ASAP.....Everything else has been checked and passed as good to go. Next weekend we're going to Mallory Park for the Retro Rides show.Hopefully we'll be able to go round the track to do some mapping and practise for a little event we're at in September...... See you all soon....
