David
What you are saying is that the GF diff mount is out of square to the chassis the same as the RMC's?
If so, with the body off what's the trick to squaring it up?
I presume it's not so drastic that it needs to be changed before heading into engineering / RW first?
Cheers

Slowy,
It was only out a poofteenth, but I thought if it's right from the start the less multiplication of errors.
I used a 1 metre square edge and a string line on the pinion flange to get the pinion parralell with the chassis. Then string line again on the hub flanges to set the toe-in. It was that close the alignment shop didn't need to alter it.
And who said string is only good for pulling tampons

The word tampon actually developed from the word "Tampion" which is a plug for the end of a naval gun to stop the ingress of water.
Check it out: Tampion

Ohhhh..OK...so if I want to go shooting guns underwater then I need some tampons. 
Silly me....but then I have led a very sheltered childhood.

Jag suspension
Phil,
What size rotors are you running under the big AP Racing calipers?
I am looking at AP caliper 6pots road version with large pad, but not sure whether to go 1.10" width X 13" rotor or 1.25" wide X 13" rotor. This car would be lucky to more than 950 - 1000kg kerb weight when finished - hopefully!

HI Ant,
The fronts are 365mm x 32 rotors.

Slowy,
I wouldn't have any pic's as I built mine pre digital and wasn't so snap happy with film. I could try and sketch something for you soon.
I like CHANMADD's arms that project rearward. There has been some talk on this set up before, but I don't recall what the concensus was. The arms would be under tension rather than compression when accelerating.
One thing in favour, it keeps the area under the seat clear for best seat positioning.
