Since were on the topipc I suppose I'll mention my recent kit build. A newer racer at our track asked me to build his 12R5.1 kit and while building it I didn't notice any missing screws, but I did get one shock body that was machined incorrectly (the plastic washer under the o-ring wouldn't fit into the shock body) and one of his shock shafts had the piston epoxied in the wrong spot. I was rebuilding another 12r5 kit for a buddy and noticed his car had the piston also in the wrong spot on the shaft. None of the other cars I have or have seen were that way but it struck me odd that I ran across all three problems in the same week.

Of course a 2 minute call to AE and they shipped me knew ones no hassle or charge.

Just thought I would mention it so others can check and avoid issues down the road.
