Trevor,

When you do get a chance to plot the front of an RF I'd be interested to know what effect (if any) the angled inner pickup points (distance between L & R front inner pickup points is shorter than distance between L & R rear inner pickup points) have on things: bump steer for instance.
What does the relative advantage/disadvantage turn out to be.

Hopefully the pic' kinda sorta shows what I mean.

I've just realised this may have strayed too far off topic, hopefully it's ok - apologies otherwise.

Tim.
