The reason for restrictor plates & chicanes has nothing to do with manufacturer equality. It was to keep race cars from flying into the grandstands at 200+ MPH and killing spectators. The LeMans...

Most likely cause is you've got the front shock towers on the rear and vice-versa. The front ones are shorter than the rears.

Now that we have a "64" version and a "55" version, is there any general agreement on which layout is better for carpet? (Or better yet, some science to explain it?)

Does your car have "DCV" driveshafts in the front? If so, you need a 5x10x3mm bearing for the inner side of the steering block. The outer bearing is 5x10x4mm.
