Right the car is done all needed is bodyshell to paint.

So back to build.

Decided to do the rear before the front.

Few points.
The bearings in rear hubs are quite large and look pretty durable.

The CVDS are spring steel and the pin is captured by the bearing in the hub.

The kit setting for the toe in is 3 degrees but as in this country we tend to run 4 degrees I set 3 degrees on the inner hinge pins and 1 degree on the hub. Anti squat is set at 2 degrees. In the kit it comes with all the inserts to try every setting. This is a good feature as eliminates need to buy different braces.

The plastic parts are very good quality and strong.

Car comes with clamp type wheel hex for the rear.

When I had built the rear there was no binding or slop in the hinge pins on the wishbones.
