OK, so now I understand what a pie cut is !!!
With an 8mm pie cut like that... is that based on running no caster shims after the cut ?

Get German ones and you need a reamer or go to someone that has one.

Nice looking work there Ben.... And as Matt said.... German is the only way to go.... I use Bilsten ones everytime.... The bronze is a beautiful
quality as are all the other parts in the kits... The one thing I often use from the old OG sets are the the fibre washer and pressed cap spacer (for
lack of the correct name!)... Have found the kit supplied ones to be of an inferior quality.

Oh ok.... I have been thinking about building proper staging brake into my car (instead of using the hand brake), but was unsure how to plumb it all
in... Might have to have a real close look at your car next month!
