You probably know this, but that bolt looks a little short for the front lower wishbone mount. If possible, it's also a help to install facing down instead of up.
Looks like *a lot* of scrub there too. Maybe OK for parking lots, but it looks a little worrisome for high speed - maybe I'm wrong though....
There is a lot of scrub. We will see if it is an issue on a low speed solo car. I can always change spindle type and use much smaller brakes and then bring in the wheels. I don't know if you can see in the picture that I have two LCA inboard mount positions to give me the flexibility to make significant changes without re-welding stuff. I can swap out monoball pins, buy new strut tubes and have a completely different front layout. Maximum adjustable for the future. I will likely change things anyway. I am just making it easier to do.
Regarding the bolt, agree I need a longer grip length bolt.
Up or down. Is there a difference? I thought if the nyloc nut was visible, I could at a glance see things are secure instead of jacking the car up.
Thanks
Mark
