Jon's Tiger Avon Build

Letter of Complaint #2 06.12.07

Thursday 6th December 2007

I have sent an email to the M.D. of Tiger Racing asking for clarification on the assembly of the rear suspension. The rear suspension only really fits one way round but still the assembly isn't looking right and the rear shocks are way out of alignment.

I heard nothing for a day and a half so I called Tiger Racing and was put on to one of the lads in the workshop. All he could offer in support was to relay the information in the build manual stating how you put the suspension together. He checked the assembly with another Avon that same evening with a friends Avon, just to clarify the positioning of the rear uprights.

All-in-all I HAD assembled the rear suspension correctly so there is definately a problem with the geometry. The help from Tiger fizzled out to nothing as he said there can't be a problem as they have made loads of Avons from the very same jigs.

WELL I WILL MEASURE THE CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION MOUNTING POINTS TO CONCLUDE AND WRITE A FOLLOW-UP EMAIL SOON. Not good.
