Build issues
Hmmm, suppose I should expect it for under £50 (glad I bought a 'rat and not the X-Pro) but these are the things I've come across so far:
1. Two of the steering post bearings were very tight on the posts and wouldn't seat properly without some fettling.
2. One of the M3x8 screws at the front of the top plate has stripped out before the screw even got anywhere near tight so I now need a new front bulkhead (the bit with the balljoints on).
3. The top plate itself wouldn't sit right. In the end after fiddling with the steering post bearings umpteen times I've just accepted that it is a "stressed" item now its been forced into place with the mounting screws which is probably not a good thing long term. I expect it'll pull out at some point probably after a hard front end landing forces the shock tower up.
Other than that one of the bloody e-clips made a successful bid for freedom. I hate e-clips and have my fingers crossed that there is a spare one in the pack.
