I have had my chassis since september last year.

Problems I had include:

Engine moun towers. They have a piece of steel tube that goes through them. They were different lengths.

DRB did not tell me that you must modify your sump to clear the chassis cross member. Subsequently I modified the chassis (moved the cross member forward about 2").

Brackets for front overriders/bumpers, welded on backwards.

Frount mount plate for rear suspension was 5mm out of square.

This is not really a problem but it is an issue. A lot of pages in the build manual were incorrect. It was supposed to be updated.

Left hand steering arm was machined incorrectly.
