This is the driver's side of the car. As you can see, the template fits neatly around the chassis rails. The same should be true on the passenger side - these parts of the chassis should be symmetrical so that the axle sits centrally relative to the chassis. |
| I think this one speaks for itself. I've added some red tape along the top of the 10mm plate to show up the contrast. It's at a distinctly different angle to the other side. |  |
 |
The same problem is shown up by the angle of the internal ali panel. On the driver's side, as you can see from the camber gauge, it's near as damn it vertical. You can see from the bubble in the spirit level at the bottom that the camber gauge is vertical. |
| On the passenger side it isn't vertical - not by quite a way. Once again, both of these should be symmetrical, with the same angle between the bottom and top chassis rails. And there isn't. |  |
| So, it's pretty clear that something is wrong. I took lots of other measurements (showing up a number of other more minor, ahem, generous tolerances) and the problem seems to be that the whole of the rear of the chassis from where it starts to taper inwards, except for the main chassis rails at the top, is off centre to the tune of up to 15mm. Doesn't sound like that much, but it really screws up the location of the rear axle. Hopefully now that the Fisher Fury has been sold to BGH Geartech, these problems won't arise again... |
