Re: Mmmm The handling still needs work.

The reason for mid corner change, most notable in the middle of turn two, is I'm breathing the throttle to get the car to rotate back into the second apex. Same thing in turn one. I'm not making any steering corrections, as I said in the early post I steer with the pedals. In fact many of guys are taken aback by the fact that I'm drifting the car and making hand signals at the same time. As you know loads of opposite lock scrubs speed.

So I measured the end play tonight and I've got as much as .008" if I'm measuring this right. I'm grabbing the backing plate with my fingers and pushing in on the axle flange with my thumbs, that results in 3-4 thou. Then I put my fingers behind then flange and thumbs on the brake shoes and pull out this results in 3-4 thou the other side of the 0 on my dial indicator. So 6-8 thou total. I just did the driver's side but I'll assume the it has the same issue. So basically I've got near 1/4 millimeter of slop in there. I will add another shim behind the bearing to get it in spec.
