Hi Mando,

Good to see you posting in here. As Leeroy, Phil and me were saying, there's a ton of useful info here and some smart guys who have found and fixed all the problems before.

David, those arms look like series 2 but Jaguar chopped and changed a bit in the different models. I think it was a case of what was available in the parts bin.

Here's a picture of my upper arm which is the straight one. Upper Arm

I think you will only have contact at full droop and that's just on the bosses for the bump stops. Remember though you will still have some shims in the back to set your camber and that will move the arm further away from the shock.

The real clearace area to look at is the pivot bar. for the upper arm. I milled a chamfer into the edge of mine to make a bit more clearance for the spring. I'll try to remember to take a picture on the week end to show you what I mean.

Cheers
