No mate, I have given up sort of keeping a tally, I have just been swaping bolts as I went.

I am not sure about swaping the glass over, I have the mk1 kit sat here not even opened lol. I dont have the balls to pull the rear 1/4s apart *oh well*

Using my 'optimizer' equation. your optimal corner weights are as follows

FL-201-----FR-201
RL-117-----RR-117

I've never had the numbers come out so perfectly.

Obviously if you sat in it you'd bugger it all up though! Unless you had a twin to sit in the passenger seat.

This was before it was set up mate. But Mr slark was very happy when he did not have to do much work to it as it was about 19.00 at this point. I was very happy with the drive home, as it sat nice on the road.

Also last night I got on the RR and got the Mk1 running nice on 8psi and then 15psi. This setup was just so it's safe and so I can run it in nice then. I will be going to see Mr Doc Brown, for my strip tune.


Ok its 10.30 now as I post this, so for today I have done-
. oil change
. sorted the hand brake out
. fit a new battery
. taxed the car
. re torqued the head
. re aligned the steering wheel
. sorted out what tools to take.

Now just need to start the packing and set off on a road trip *happy*

Thanks
Simon.
