Hello all Just a quick couple of questions. I now have both of the Sliding Pillar uprights built up and on the car (pics will follow on the build thread). FERRINO (Tony) sent me some great clamps for the steering rack (Thank you again) and then i read on one of the threads that the T.R.E needed to be fitted from the bottom as opposed to 'from the top' and then there is difficulty getting a Metro TRE to fit a Sierra hub??? How have others made this work? I got some Ford Ronal alloys from 'the bay!' I will need to fit a spacer on the front hubs for the tyres to not rub on the springs. Can i ask what you nice guys and girls did? What size of spacer? Did you have to fit longer studs, if so which ones? I'm thinking this will only be a problem for the fronts as there is little for the rear tyres to rub on but is that the case, or do i need spacers on the rears? I am slowly building the back end up again - so i suppose will know myself soon. I have also seen some threads suggesting the use of shims on the back. Whats this about, and does it effect all cars? I know with sliding pillar i may not get pinpoint accuracy with set up but anything i can do to nudge it closer will be for the best. Thanks again for all your help as always
