To bring you all up to date.
After prepping the cut-outs for the tires I kept looking at the lower rear arm. It just didn't look stiff enough.
Did some testing and. I was right. :ack:

Working on a new lower and just hope I will not need to redo the top ? :BH:

More latter.

:cheers:

The Transit is a 2016 with the Twin Turbo. Love the power and it has a great ride. Think it was 24K +-

The track time was a lot of fun, and got the chance to see some old racers from my past !

Back to building. Working on a fixture to hold the new lower arm's.
