Before fitting my five link suspension, the wheel base on my Roadster differed by 150mm! It's equal now!!

Strange for the Aero to have problems with the rear wheel positioning when the chassis is predrilled on a jig and the bodies welded on a jig. Perhaps the rear wishbones have been assembled the wrong way round!

My sidescreens flap.
I explain to everyone that it is quite 'normal'.
I've got used to it, as you do.

I suspect the wheels are in the correct position. The error is the positioning of the wings relative to the wheels.

That would be my guess too. But if you correct the wings, would the doors still fit/

However, Glenn, don't despair; I can show you my patent poverty solution. This not only had the effect of reducing the flapping, but also reduced draughts.
Remind me on Saturday.

I doubt it. Mine are central and they don't change their position.

Re all this flapping, don't they all do that Sir?
I look forward to the solution Bud; Archie will be next to (behind/in front of ) the TM gazebo.

(my apologies for the thread drift - this has nothing to do with 'Aero 8 S5 Flaws'!) blush
