Yep,2 bolts had gone awol on route and the other 3 were not far behind!

Think it had bodywork and suspension on rear, rushing to get to us for geo! QC issues?

Arrived with only 3 of the 5 bolts still in, and they were only on a thread or two!

Oops How can you not notice?

Seemingly not!

Slider pin is fine, well the one that is there! Just not screwed in other completely missing. One on the other caliper was half unscrewed as well! 59 plate BMW renter.

Car came in for wheel alignment and the driver commented on noises from the front brakes!

What readings did you get for front camber, castor and sai? Imbalance here is the most likely cause of the drift/pull?

I think I would have had a go at moving the front subframe, to increase caster, but not a major issue. Caster is a bit lower than I would have expected but it is quite even, which I feel is more important.

Brake cleaner is pretty good, try it on the seat back or somewhere hidden first though!

Good machine, we have one. Later Hawkeye is a development from it with smaller targets on the wheels and bluetooth. Realistically most proper wheel alignment machines in good order are a good bit of kit, IF USED CORRECTLY. Any old muppet can buy the best machine and make an almighty balls-up if they don't know how to use it properly!

Doubtful Would need adaptor plate, GT40 rep probably use them, shouldn't be too much of a problem! http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-powertrain-transaxles/29804-chevy-renault-whats-needed.html http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHEVY-SMALL-BLOCK-V8-UN1-RENAULT-ADAPTOR-PLATE-/200658677049 No excuse now!

Chevy v8 all the way! What's up with the one you have? Cheap to rebuild or get a crate motor for it. These any good? http://www.rodsnsods.co.uk/forum/stuff-sale/4-bolt-main-350-chev-63213

Worth pulling subframe to balance caster and camber, I would think.

Sorry Pete, only just spotted your reply. Think it is the same car, driver Andy Cooper. In the Knockhill report he is far left in blue overalls in the trophy picture.
