Re: Sticker

I copied this sticker on to photo paper several years ago. Ratios are correct, colours depend on your printer but you can import it into photo package and modify. I have used it stuck to the engine cover and it does deteriorate, but easy to reproduce again.

Just checked ERA drawing (attached) and front cross member is shown straight, Dated May 1998.
Was auto subframe curved? Rumor has it that some cars were fitted with Auto frame to move engine forward.
