Narrowed the traillling arm a bit more and now it is spot on.

The inside


The inside will get some metal to strenghten it.

There is space between the tire and fender.



I also fitted the offset irs bolts from Marco and they are a great way to adjust the wheels.

Hi Marco,
This is the washer that fits over the MM special bolt, to tighten up the rubbers?

Went to the garage after a great weekend at EBI .
Bought a set of new porsche carrera 2 rear calipers.



They need a 7mm shim to center them around the discs.The shims are ready tommorow so I can bolt up the righthand side of the suspension with new 12.9 bolts.
