just wondering by taking the washer off the rear drive from behind the wheel adapter, have the wheel distance closer together will that give more rear end grip or less

cheers Pete

Its the vertical section at the rear of the wing that you can cut to change airflow.

More gurney = less steering at speed and more stability.

Nahh, we use it too for some stuff, like Aerospace & fluid fittings. But mostly metric, which I prefer TBH as is much easier to get your head around. Still, we only have ourselves to blame as we came up with the inch system wayy back in the day

Hi Nathans,

I guess that the "pushrod lenth 23mm with shockball undone 1turn + new lower mounting point" you speak about in the three above setup!

If you are looking at the lower picture thats my car. The strap is a modified B4 strap with the "wings" cut off and holes drilled at either end.
