Yea that's what I did in the end, what type of gearbox mount comes with the stage 3 ppp frame is it the same as on the stage 2 and what's the purpose of changing the gearbox mount is it just so that the frame fits better??

the frame wont fit at all without the new gearbox mount.  The original mount blocks the way the tube needs to go, to shape the tube around the mount would mean it'd have to go under the mount and it'd be too low down.

found this useful, if like me you are just starting to learn about handling(castor, toe and so on).

mine rubs on full lock but I run mk2 golf steels which are like et45.

also - just guess a castor angle until you get it set up. The wheelbase varies so much on a polo its actually scary.

you are limited to what you can do becuase of the design, buy Yoofington has made an adjustable tca which means you would be free to play around to your hearts content, once he starts selling them I pressume.

Best bet is to pick a number out your ars (just till the wheels are in the middle of the arch, but careful you don't run out of thread)
then drive down to a place that has proper equipment. Its a major hassle to box it all up and start doing it by hand.

Yoof sent me the first draft of some instructions way back when so if you PM him then he should be able to help you out.

I've done a little googling, it says between 2 and 5 degree -caster is normal as it enables straigh line stability...?
