why are the N/S holes elongated?Only reason i can think of, is to make fitting the beam assembly easier, mount tolerances maybe. seen a few 306's with
their beams sitting 10mm or so off the the N/S,

I think mine are like it on both sides, I wouldn't say elongated, I think theyre round but bigger than the stud that goes through that's joined to the mount. Well saying that, I can't really remember, was ages ago, but I'm certain both sides was the same. Can't see it helping to mount the beam though. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

They are to align your rear beam, I seem to remember a member off here travelling in the boot with a mate driving perfectly straight, then nipping the bolts up once the beam had aligned itself  , I had Skip Browns align mine and they got it spot on, there must be a few 6's out there crabbing a bit cos there's are not aligned after a beam change I reckon,________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6™ |
