ooo could well be...at the moment ive got the rear top deck that has 3 screws into the diff case. 1 has the alloy space the other 2 just have the top deck touching the diff case, should there be a washer with each screw then?

Griff just normal size washer's like what you put on ball studs to raise them..

tinner's no shock mountings are ok

On mine I only have the one alloy spacer on the front and rear gearbox, no other washers as it then sits flush with the top of the gear case.

The only other thing I can think of is to shim the wishbones for wheel base, or put under the anit squat blocks?

mmm think thats more likely as having a look at the topdeck don't think it need them...

will check the wheelbase and anti squat

What did you strip off?

What about the ball stud on the steering knuckle, sometimes had 2mm of washers under there.

think they must be the anti squat or wheel base as all the other washer's are anodised and these are silver...

you should know Griff you built the car :p:lol:
