Hi guys,

Have done some changes now, using the squared chassis (original drivetrain though) and have also put the espeed shock plates and rear camber plate on (as well as the castor block screws), couple of quick questions:

1. What nut/spacer mount setup are people using on the rear to mount the shocks when they have the carbon brace on. I have tried to replicate the original position by using the none threadlocked nut then the smaller of the 2 sizes of shock bushing, whereas without the carbon piece I used the thicker bushing. However my rear shocks don't quite look vertical (they are slightly behind at the top compared to the bottom), is this ok or do I need to try and cut down the spacer or similar?

2. Are other people running the carbon shock braces also holding the carbon to the original shock tower with further scews/nuts on the outside top shock hole? At the moment I am just using the ball joints/shocks on the front and wing/shocks on the rear to hold the carbon brace to the tower, but wondered if that was strong enough or if a screw/nut on the outside hole may make it stronger?
