Bruce,
Thanks for all your help at the Nats I very much appreciate it. I also have a better understanding about high grip setup than I did. I just have to make it work now.
I have some more ideas for front end mods which you may be interested in, I'll send you the pics when I'm ready.
Take care,
Chris

If this piece does not fit down over the two long screws easily, meaning it should slide down over the screws without having to put any pressure on the carbon fiber piece, it can pull the two long screws in together or out away from each other. This will place a very slight bow in the back of the chassis either up or down at the outside edge of the chassis depending on which way the two screws are leaning when you tighten down the two nuts. While this may not make the cars handle poorly, it could be why you are seeing a difference in the ride height from side to side.

You really dont want to ream them out that much, or else you will have play and it might move when you hit something, you want to basically thread in that piece, or have it as close as possible and then tighten the nuts over it very well. You want as little play there as possible.

How about working in some kind of countersink on one side to get a more positive location? OD, what do you think about this?

Hello All
I ordered a conversion kit off Speedmerchant through the online shop on Feb 2nd. paying with Paypal, as this is to go to the UK I expected some additional shipping charges, this I was intending to pay as soon as confirmed.
Despite many Emails and a couple of posts here on the forum I still have not got the parts or heard anything forom Speedmerchant.
You guys seem to have a good relationship with Bruce, can you please ask him to progress my order for me? Is it woth calling? should I Fax?
As far as I am aware there are no Speedmerchant's running here in UK, and I did not see any at the recent Euro Champs. I would like to run one over here but I seem to be facing an uphill struggle.
Please help

I know Bruce has been very busy lately. Your best bet would be to call him and if he doesn't answer right away leave him a message and he should get back to you.
Good luck with the car, it's really the best thing going.
