    Mine are serated nuts but have been loose/not as tight as advertised when checked!!

    I'm always amazed how far out tracking can be after un-doing and doing the 2 bottom ball joint bolts up!!

    did you stick with the same oil cooler piping in the end or have I missed that!! Just landed in from a week in Egypt!!

    Yea it can move alot. I have two very diffrrent tracking results too.

    Yes i kept the oil cooler lines, but move the pump fittings so they point down more. So they run kinda under and along the chassis leg.

    Side skirt fitting update...

    If i think back, these where painted in later 2007, early 2008. I just never got around to fitting them. liked the look with out them. But i found my self having a bit of a taste for them, so pulled them down from the storage in the garage..

    Bit dusty?



    Had to give them a good clean as the dust was about 5 mm thick...

    Fitting these is a lil scary as getting them all lined up can be tricky. i laid tape each sdf the mount. So i knew how far along each mount was.



    Then tapped the sill and marked on to that when each mount was.



    Marks.





    Then marked down,



    Big thanks to Pistol Pete and IaIn for the how too guide on here for the measurement. These where really needed.



    Gave me this...



    Then this.



    Repeat many times... Note stainless screws where used.



    Test fit.





    End fits. Which was a **** to fit. I believe due to replacement arches not having the correct shape. Que a hammer, dolly and grinder.



    Strip all off, repaint where the holes are, re fit using all stainless screws top and bottom, all threads greased to help keep water away too. Once dry refit.

    Now the long bits hand been sit over to beams in the garage... Which down to time and weight have wrapped them a bit. But i'm hoping that they will straight out as they are now all clipped on..
    Here a bit of warping.



    The top of the fin is the same, But unsure if thats warping or replacement arch fitment again. But this will be corrected.

    Very strong tape should help as a temp.



    Dan says Hi.... Well kinda.
