| Great Geoff! But be careful..I found that there was very little meat around the edge of the turret wall, thus it was prone to move. I found they shifted and would "Rock" under load. In a production version i can design plates for the job, that will fit perfect. For best test i think of a Fast bummpy back road........not likely to feel much differance on smoth tarmac. Have Fun Cheers Mike |

| Did a test run earlier, but there was a fair bit of traffic about  However when i did get a chance to push on a bit, the car feels even more stable thru the bends than with just the complete front set-up Hopefully saturday will be a better day for testing :drive: |

| Yep... And the conclusion..   Didn't get a chance to fit it to any other cars though (time / weather) but it certainly works  |

| Geoff, if your still on for meeting up on friday I'll remove the carpets from the rear turrets from mine and compare against yours if that's ok. If they're the same then stick my name down aswell.... |
