when you say add, do you mean you want to add negative camber? I don't know of any way to do this but am working on a way of doing it...________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

You could use the measurements from a standard wishbone, then fabricate a tubular one from that with an adjustable balljoint in the end. I have some old wishbones in the shop, I'll have a look tomorrow and see just whats involved.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

all the bushes are shot, i tryed re-bushing them, to no avail only managed to get one p-bush changed, handling is dangerous at the mo, wanders all over the road, makes car sway under braking, generally not good, |

Then spend up on braking and handling improvements, carry lots of corner speed and p*ss all over bigger 'faster' cars in the braking zones.
