Alignment settings for track! Any help please

[Chip-mk1]

You know There is always more that you come across though mate my target is December. Although its a track car I like to do it nicely so it's done properly rather than throwing it together

Yeah I know that target dates slip, but if you aim for one in august, then even if you miss it you should be well on your way for december!

Is that a challenge to be done by August lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yes mate, get on with it

Ive got a car im intending to use there that is far further from ready than yours, if I fail at least I'll have moved it forwards a lot trying.

I hope you've used some schnorr washers to stop any movement mate. You'd be surprised how much it will move even if done FT.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Weld a washer on, or do like I did and weld the hole up and drill a new one, thats strongest way.

I bolted it in place and then welded the ball joint to the arm. If the ball joint goes il just cut it off and do the same.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Crikey, thats commitment, especially before you get your castor checked to make sure its the same both sides, lol.

 

[Kerwall]

Both the holes were the same length in the arm according to my vernier gauge so I bolted them and welded them. That'll do lol il let you know how far each side is out when I get my readings later

 

[Chip-mk1]

They normally arent quite equal as standard, so its not that I think you will have made it worse, merely missed a chance to correct it.

Good luck anyway mate

 

[Kerwall]

Right I've got it back

just about to stick the dunlops gauges on mine- I'm at Bedford on Monday so people recommend a little toe out then? I'm running a 172 cup with standard suspension but with 15's and ado48's.
