But I cannot seem to load the pdfs. Anyone else having issues, or is it at my end as usual? :-)
I'm a sucker for information, so that would be brilliant!
I think I know how to do it, though. But you are probbably better than me :-)

That is an interesting point. Wonder if tapping the screw holes before actually putting in the screw would help with some materials. I know having a vertical drill press or mill worth it. You would want the the tapping to be as square as possible.

Some knowledge of other TRF cars seems to be needed to recognize some of the parts. I own TRF 417 and TRF 419, but NOT 416 or 418. So, I see the setup sheet mentions two different "Front Upright" as either 416 or 418. So, the question is "what is the difference, which one comes in the 419 kit?"
Thanks. I'd share my experience for my first day racing the 419 only to say it felt very stable and was fun to drive.

Get some silicone oil in the hole before you use the screw to tap it all the way, back off the screw half a turn for each turn (or 1/2 in - 1/4 out).
Even better, use Xray diff screws - they're machine screws and you can pre-tap with a "normal" one (i.e. not countersunk which will take a larger standard hex which gives more purchase). Same procedure - oil, 1/2 in 1/4 out.

Older (two hole) uprights have the holes exactly either side of the new (418) type.

Took the 419 out tonight for the first time. First impression is awesome. No leaking diff or dampers. Had to make a few adjustments. I am not a pro but the car for me felt stable. The front end of the car felt better than my 418. I fealt the car steered more precise and went where i wanted it to go more so than my 418.
I like it.
