Re: Rcr 40-31

Chris,

I am concerned that the hinge you made in front of the nose may have thrown off your whole nose alignment

With the front mounting system we supply, camcentric bobbins...we support the nose in the same position and location as per original.

I have a feeling that your nose now has a twist induced in the location , and this has created your non standard fitment issues

I have not heard from anyone with a Mk1 with any issues or concerns similar to yours....and the only thing I can see non-standard is your front hinge/mount location system.

Knowing how detail oriented you are, I am sure you have thought through all this...and will ultimately do a finished job that you will be 100% happy with.

I do however feel that this was an avoidable circumstance given a phone call or two.

I am doing my best to be objective..not defensive about my RCR products but I am having a hard time justifying your mods to myself.

If other finished RCR Mk1 cars are compared, I dont recall anyone having had to deal with anything like this....
