Can anyone tell me if the main bolt that goes through the peddle/2xpush rods has a nut on both sides?? mine only has a nut on the right hand side and the whole threaded rod had come loose and had started to unwind!! I have tightened it up but seems like it needs a nut on the other end, good job I spotted it, could hqave been nasty!!

The bias bar only needs to be fixed with a locknut on one side (whichever side is most accessable). It won't unwind completely - only change the bias from one end to the other.

It shouldn't really be unwinding at all.... I wonder if there is too much slack in it when it was assembled!

Am I right that you are near Cambridge?

Well worth checking out Rally Design's guide for adjustment setup.

There are a few of us around this part of the woods (including Raz), maybe we should sort a kinda meet.

We did have a meet down at the Barton Bull at 5 ways roundabout, it would be nice to organise another, it would be nice to have a ride over and see your project, it looks really good.

I think that snetterton show is soon??

You'd be more than welcome... I even make a mean cup of coffee with which I'm hopeing I can entice Raz round this week (he's been invaluable with advice on my body design) to help me fit my new rear Wing... I'll come clean it's bigger than Waynes lol.

I am near Sudbury about 45-50mins from south cambridge.

Raz, the spoiler is now due Thursday so it looks like Friday would be best.... I need to design the end plates as well. I can't wait to get it on and see what it looks like, hopeing for good weather so we can get it outside for some pics as all the wishbones etc go Sunday and it will be the last chance.
