Thanks Chris. At least someone can read...
Ken, you delivered the kit personally to me on December 11 1999. Yes folks... my problems have stemmed that far back. It is a V12 chassis that you dug up for me with an extended drivers footwell. For the benifit of not only Ken Cook but all the people interested in this thread I have put a few images up on my EZ Photo Shed gallery.
The link is here :-

This is my car setup with the suspension (at it's lowest possible setting) as supplied by Ken Cook
This is my car setup with the suspension as configured by myself and a few friends (forgive me for not naming you but I do not wish you to get involved in this)
Answers on a postcard which setup looks best please!
Ken, I don't suppose you are going to offer me a refund for the useless suspension you sold me are you? I still have it if you want it back!
I will not post the other images here so you will have to reffer to the gallery (link above)
The image "Wishbone problem" just highlights one of the many errors in the chassis. The tube that the lower wishbone mounts to was actually too long. It was an incredibly tight fit just to mount as shown in the photo and that was before I had to fit the washers that are seen resting on top of that tube. I had to cut both sides down (both sides of the car) to get them to fit.
The remaining images are just a small selection highlighting the extensive chassis modifications made to attempt to get the V12 engine in. I must highlight that the V12 chassis was designed to take the very same V12 engine I was trying to fit.
Oh and Ken, if you are going to start having a go at me for not getting the engine in the right position then you can think again. There is absolutely no reference to the fitment of the V12 engine into the V12 chassis in your superb build manual. I hasten to add that the supplied manual was as you said "the only one I have" and was based around a V8 chassis for a left hand drive car fitted with a Rover V8 engine. I found that very helpful in the build of my right hand drive V12 chassis with a Jag V12 engine!
When I did phone you to talk about it and said that the engine would not fit, that is when I got my reply from you "well mine does" I took the measurements you requested and let you know them. You were going to go out and measure your car. I never did get that phone call....
End of Round 2.
Who's scoring this?
Cheers...
