On another note Ben, a short time ago you were selling your drag car and now you're keeping it and have got another one......have you promised a
kitchen or bathroom Reno...

Ended up getting a Whiteline sway bar.
Got all 4 wheels on the ground
Also got the seatbelt and shifter fitted. Now, just need engine fitted and dynoed, brakes bleed and a wheel alignment and it should be ready to go.
Not to sure ill get time to finish it before the supersprints but it will be close!!! May have to skipp a wedding next saturday to get it done.

you'll need to adjust (shorten) your vertical link on the sway bar down a bit. when the suspension goes into compression the sway bar will contact
the trailing arm above it.
put a jack under the shock absorber & take the weight of the car on it, it will push the front wheel up simulating compressing the suspension
& see what happens. will also show you how close your tyre will get to your guard.
Cheers
Brendan
I've has a big setback today that probably means I wont get there.

Wedding, unless it is yours I'm sure they will understand
Also you are looking a little unwell, I think you will need a few days off sick over the next 2 weeks.
Keep up the good (quick) work and I hope to see the car at Wakefield 
Kev
P.S. Don't forget I have the starter motor here if you need it.
