Since your return you've helped me with the carburettors, timing, sliding door, spring plates, to mention a few and now my greatest challenge the negative camber I think it's because I can't see it in my head, I bet you wished you stayed away, I can hear you saying bloody Bazza again lol
I'm lounging comfortably in my boat. You're skinning your knuckles, lying on the road/drive. The more advice I give you the more you grovel around in the sh1t and grease so I'm adequately amused. Mind your fingers.
I think I understand this negative camber adjustment and I'm not going to adjust it until I'm sure so is this correct I need to jack up the rear and place the bus on axle stands, then i loosen the 4x 22 ml spring plate to hub bolts,then place my trolley jack under the shock mount and jack up, this is the bit I'm not sure about, I can see there is a tiny bit of adjustment but is the camber reduced by it turning or raising if that makes sense
No but in my defence I'm waiting for my shiny new shocks and high tensile steel bolts to arrive, now you have explained the camber adjustment I know what I'm doing I've taken everything off again and painted the spring plate covers as they were a bit cruddy, I think I could lower the rear of any erlee or late bay with my eyes closed now
He ended up in A&E. Was working under his van, heard Boris's voice on the radio and instinctively stood up to salute. Banged his head on the exhaust and ended up at the Queen Vic hospital in East Grinstead.
I wasn't happy with the springplate clearance at the top so I took it all apart again and notched 10 mm off the top I also replaced all the bolts with SS ones and I fitted new shocks up front and at the rear, I'm extremely happy with the result, next job I'm either going to flip the sway bar or remove it Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
That looks down about the same as mine now - wheel arch level with top of wheel rim - just need to jack it up higher to get the wheel out.
He once convinced me to take my carb apart at the side of the road and fix it!! Drove it home before the AA (eventually) got there. Top man!
A word of warning, Baz. A2 stainless bolts aren't as strong as the steel originals. Slightly less strong than steel 8.8s, and I recall the suspension bolts are 10.9s. Probably won't fall off, but...
