Re: Weaving under braking??
Checked tyre pressures tonight offside front has only lost 1psi since I checked them a week ago, so probably not that then, no obvious play in rack either.......

Re: Weaving under braking??
Are the top rockers and lower wishbones free to move (you will need to disconnect the shock to check) ?
Are the shocks on the same setting for compression/rebound?
When you push down/bounce on the front left side does it act/react the same as the right side?
I'd visually check toe on the front and rear to make sure it hasn't moved and so on.

Thanks, I'll check all of the above, all new joints fitted at the front before geo set up at Boss Racing, so hopefully OK, shocks both set at minimum damping from memory, perhaps they need stiffening up?

You may well find the whole front is underdamped, you'll need to bounce the front to see what is happening.

That's how mine have always been, both the Spax & the Protechs, never noticed any weaving except maybe on uneven tarmac.
Mine was set up:-
Camber
Front -.5
Rear -.3/.4
Toe
Front 2 in (that's 2mm inwards, not 2"

Rear 1 in
