I chose to make a steel frame similar to the original, using the front RCR bobbin as the pivot. As I developed the body brackets, I kept running into issues till I figured out the pockets for the clamp plates ate not the same from side to side.
I understand the comments "they are not symmetrical" and "it's a 60 year old racecar" but somethings have to be right to make it work correctly.PXL_20250724_183633418.jpgPXL_20250724_183629010.jpg
Had to remodel the passenger side pocket to get them close enough to work. Moved up and back about 1/2" so the parrot beak would line up to the clamp plates.
RCR makes a great kit, but there are some issues that need to be addressed
