R-M Focus SVT front end fix

[SteveK2003]

I haven't fiddled with my R-M Focus SVT in a while, and after reading the review in Scale Auto, I decided to check mine out and see if the wheels were too far back in the wheel-wells as well. They were, and a little fidgeting exposed an easy solution.

The front assembly attaches to the chassis at two points: The shocks/struts in the fender wells, and the lower plate at the chassis behind the engine bay. It looks like that if you put a spacer in between the chassis and the suspension plate, it will rotate the front suspension forward using the struts as the pivot point.

From my rough fitting, a spacer about the thickness of the pegs/pins in the lower front suspension plate looks to be about right. The battery in my calipers is dead, but I think it is either .040 or .050 inches. That seems to put the front wheels just about right.

I haven't slipped the engine or anything else in with it, so I can't say if that alignment needs to be fixed as well.
