I really should know better by now. I usually make my own lightweight bumper brackets but I was seduced by these brackets I found on the net made specifically for my car. Do they fit? do they arse! Too long by at least 2 inches which required a couple of hours of shortening, redrilling, bending and swearing to get the bumper sitting where it should. The Americans love to slag off the Chinese for their quality overlooking the fact they can't get it right either far too much of the time.

Was just thinking you could probably get away with 20mph with that gap!
Opportunity to get them really close into the body...

Swapped out the Urathane bushed upper control arms for a rose jointed set. These allow even more caster to be dialled in for high speed stability and rose joints have virtually no friction so the suspension can react much faster for best weight transfer. I’ll fit boots on the joints before final assembly so they will live for regular road use.
