Thanks for all the input. We had written off the chassis 2 years ago, at the end of that season we'd seen the performance go off, it was good in practice but always disappointed on race day, couldn't really pinpoint why though with only timed qualafying. We only kept it as a memento to hang on the workshop wall(sad but true). But now doing a couple of clubies and it's all we've got, sounds like we might be flogging a dead horse though.

The base set-up we ran last time is with everything loose, mid position ride height, 6mm of toe-out and the seat bottom level with the bottom of chassis. We don't have much testing time available but from what I'm hearing I'm inclined to tighten everything, raise the seat by 10mm, run as wide as possible at the back but with long hubs and then tune it in practice with the front width and ride heights.

Only other option is a rain dance, because this chassis was always brilliant in the wet.
