Project Carbon 4x4

That setup is good, but not great imo; purely because setting the castor in situ should be infinitely adjustable (like say a track rod is).

When the car's on a ramp being tracked up & castor set etc, I wouldn't want to be limited to 180° turns on a bearing that'll only get you 'close enough' N/S to O/S equal castor, having to jack the car up each time unbolting everything to rotate the next best guess each side at a time; it's just not practical at your local alignment place.

Don't get me wrong the quality of the fabrication looks perfect; just the design's not quite there imo.

If you wanted to use in situ adjusters, everything has to be even larger thus meaning you struggle with clearance with the wheel. Its something I've looked into several times now and although I would prefer to have it in situ adjustable the added cost alone would put most people off.

It will more than suit my needs that's for sure I'm chuffed with the kit :)

As long as it's got carbon in it's accurate lol

See what BRoad is saying regarding on-car adjustment, would just take a bit longer to set up

Aye that bit stays lol

Cheers for the info earlier Iain. I'll have someone helping me set it up anyway :)

All the parts are adding up nicely, shame your being let down with the shell :(

Apparently it's my fault as I keep changing my mind... Nothing's been changed since summer!

Take it somewhere else if they keep messing

Surely they got time now?

I have no idea who else could take it on. His work is bloody good though. I was told last week him and another guy will be working on it to try hammer on with it.

You're a bit far from us! Quite sure you're guy will sort it :)
