Hi Guys

I think it important to mention that the early CAV's had an incorrect assembly on the front upright. When I purchased the company in late 2004, I had one of the earleir uprights tested. I have the results available for those who are interested. The only failure was the ball joint at 9 tonnes!
If the upright is assembled with the correct hardware, it will not fail.
Please note that the post #100 cars, as manufactured by ourselves, do have a slighly different design and a change on the upper attachment block. see CAV GT | Resurrecting a legend

Please contact me at jean@cavgt.co.za if you need further information.
