Looking excellent Keith!! Making some quick progress there!!
I'm running that Intercooler, Radiator and Oil Cooler setup up on my car. They were made up on my car and work fine. Boost pipes are close to oil cooler but are fine.

If anything, personally id put the tie bar at the top, and balljoint at the bottom.
Other then that, spot on work fella :thumb:
The tie bars will be lowered off the front panel too, so will move down, the ball joint is only sitting around 1 CM higher than when it sits inside the lower arm. It is set up like this so that the tie bar clears the F28 Gearbox, not the best setup, but needs must. I run mine the same and have had no problems with that..
Nope, should be fine mate.Quote:

Also andy's runs fine like this :D
If you ran the tie bar on front and ball joint below then the tie bar would hit the F28.
Keith
the hub can't sit any higher? the only thing that'll make the hub sit higher is the length of the strut, surely? All mounting it there has acheived is simply lowering the tiebar/control arm. If keith has lowered front tie bar mounts, then the tie bar should sit flat/as is. if the thickness of the control arm is, say, 2.5c.m and the front mount is say 2.5c.m further down from it's original locating point, then the tie bar should work/behave in the same way.Quote:

thats also how mine were done and has been all good.
mine work well and handles well too.
Same here - never had any probs!
how does them riv nuts actually work?
Just like a Rivot, You need the special crimping things to fit them, its almost identical to a Rivoter, but you need this special tool. And the Rivnuts come in packs.
Just drill the hole, then put the rivnut on the tool and squeeze it. It holds in the same as a Rivot but has threads for nuts.
Was Andy B who told me about Rivnuts, and my local motorfactors got me all the kit!
Hope this helps?
