After nearly 4 years of ownership and again suffering the problem since I greased the front suspension, RTA was shipped off to New Elms, near Shaftesbury. The mechanic, Darren Bunn, used to work for Four Elms in the not too distant past. Car collected and delivered by trailer (from Cheltenham), so I did not have to sort out transport to/from the workshops (SWMBO does not drive). Anyway, while the car was there, it has had the new, longer (late type) gusset plates welded in, one front stub axle was found to be bent, a couple of developing chassis cracks have been attended to, plus a host of other items updated (at my request). Originally I thought the kingpins were probably worn to excess, but no, there was only slight wear, so the ones fitted 4 years ago are still in use. I have only covered 5-6k miles since acquisition of the car, due to the handling problems reappearing peridically. Now I can get down to some serious drive The front is now so good, I might have to tighten up the rear shocked2 to match New Elms is run by Tim Ayres, who a number will know as a competitor in the SpeedMog Championship. No connection, just a very satisfied customer Thanks Tim & Darren. cheers (I'll have to check the invoice for a full itemisation) Graham Wright wrotes: Ever since buying RTA I have suffered with periods of ‘St. Morgan’s Dance’.
