[Fot] Frame bending

[MadMarx]

The track is fast and really fun to drive on. My favorite after of course
the mother of all tracks - the Nordschleife.

To use a jack to move the domes to the outside is a good idea, but how to
bend them to the inside?

Cheers
Chris

What a great track. The F1 race there this year was amazing. Force
India in SECOND!! Wow.

The towers should have been adjusted on the bench, but certainly you
can jack them now. I'd use a hydraulic jack braced diagonally against
the bottom of the opposite frame rail. Shouldn't move the rail at all.
