About right, the clam is over drilled and I have movement up/down etc, but it is not moving the clam around to the left so the rear left tip of the front clam is too far forward from the door aperature
Think i will get the fiberglass out and re-profile the trailing edge of the clam to make it look right
I think that was more or less standard practice on Corse bodywork, Steve.
Probably a lot less trouble in the end.
My clam has about 12-15mm of clearance, each side, between the 'Clam' and 'Frame' in your sketch. I have simply tightened one bolt until there is 1mm of clearance on one side, this moved the clam 11-14mm to the right in my case. This was all I needed to centre the clam on the windscreen.
Looking at your drawing I would have thought you could do the same?
If the tube welded to the chassis, is the only thing preventing the clam moving sideways, I would consider grinding this in preference to playing with fibreglass.....
I have now completed renewing my suspension setup. I have fitted new Protech front dampers and my refurbished Leda rear struts. With shorter springs I now have been able to set the correct ride heights after driving around an elevated car for the past few years. Thanks to Craig for helping me to make the correct spring choices.
You might be amused to see my rigid rear dampers....
You might be interested in listening to my lovely Guy Croft tuned Lancia 8V engine on my first ever track day, well evening.

Sounds great - and that looked like a lot of fun !
What size is the engine? 2l?
Sounds very similar to my 200hp k-series rover (on ITBs) that I had in the Lotus 340R. Lovely noise.
