Keven's car is the prototype AE 12R5.2. Volker and I ran production versions which differ slightly in that the aluminum is anodized blue, we use the AE center shock, and the front suspension mounts from the outside of the bulkhead with a single screw (no inserts)

Bottom screw can touch screw from a-arm ...
It is only a problem if you use the wrong screw length

The chassis is narrowed all around, not just the sides Not sure if this will be a production item or not.
