Main job this winter has been to get the car in thread number 1492 set up properly after a couple of none too successful outings at the end of last season. Built to genuine Appendix K spec with no trick bits at all (OK - I know it will be slow compared to U2TC cars) I've measured it up and the wheelbase on driver's side is 5mm longer than passenger side. There is slight negative camber on passenger side (which I would expect with the genuine Lotus TCAs using the correct crossmember mounting holes and top mounts) but slight positive camber on the driver's side !!
I got some uprated single leaf springs for the rear but we have to put a 2 inch lowering block on the left side spring hanger and nothing on the driver's side to get it to sit square !!
Guess the chassis must be a bit skewed - anybody know if there are still Churchill jigs about with Cortina Mk 1 settings?
