Hi Lincoln, I wondered where you got to, did you get those controller updates I sent ?

On the Group A trailing arm mods, Don't worry about that lincoln. I worked it out. I ended up with what I am pretty sure is the spot on setting. I made up one (of four mounts) and went to the next step of getting it approved (rather than asking what if). Which in itself is a sad sad story at the moment.

Before I started I had asked people who advised me saying you just need a ticketed welder to get approval and I had people who said they could do that. (Others said don't worry just do it ) I still have a few options in that area, however most of them just dissapeared once I had something made and they had to do it. They were well intentioned though but just did not have a way to give me a ticket that I can use, they were just going to say its ok which is not enough.

I got an engineer approved by dept of transport out, he said it all looked fine but that there was this huge paper trail and govt departments not wanting to take responsibility that would prevent me from getting my mounts approved regardless of how good they are.

So I am thinking that I will give up on the group A mods for the moment, hoping that someone / I will come up with a viable solution soon, I want to get the car painted.

Strangely enough I think that if I had a tag on them that they were made by a company in UK or somewhere they would probably have just accepted it... its all about covering your but. I am sure there is a solution but I just dont have it at the moment.

PM me or call my mobile 0439838477 if you have ideas on how to get this to the next step ...

Gavan
