I made some shims for the arm mounts.

Now I need to make an order for more parts.

Is there a special reason why you did that? You would need to install even more shims on the front of the arm mounts in order to keep the rearforward caster angle.

couple posts back David: the outdrives are higher up than on the stealth transmission, which makes the bones squeeze in the cups and limits suspension travel.
I thought the shims were over the whole length of the mount, but after your comment and looking at the picture...it looks like the avise was not well understood.
Personally I would have gone for different axle carriers to bring the lower arms and bones more parallel

The shim is the full length of the mount.
