with the new ones there's practically no give at all.

now I am not a [strike]dentist[/strike] spanner monkey, but it feels to me that this minor increase in rigidity had a major increase in car rigidity, driving on the road the car feel much tighter and more responsive, to try and explain the feeling it's like it used to go around a roundabout like a bus, lethargically yet controlled, whereas now it goes around like a mini - point and shoot, much easier to get the back end out

:laugh:

also re; the rear engine (gearbox) mount - the stick doesn't jump about so much and gear selection is easier as before, infrequently I'd miss a gear, but I'd put that down to the body lift and stick realignement, but it wasn't :whistle:

so off they came, and used some self tappers to screw some useful storage tins in their place

I'm easy pleased.
