Gav, I went to the potters bar store yesterday. They said they were waiting for one part of them to come in before they can sell them. If they are definitely in stock I'll order a set today!

Matty which store did you go to? The camber and tracking brackets are now in stock, if you ever want to know just send me a PM.


Yeah ive seen JohnK's ones look quite nice but look like they are only available as part of a kit with the front geometry kit? *oh well*

Have used and setup the minispares, minisport and KAD ones...

Minispares and minisport ones do the job, have never known them to slip on the adjustment (from both road use, racing, and rallycross use)...

but have known both to break at the welds...

minispares one have the locking feature (the nut and bolt) - useful to retain the setting should you need to take the bracket off again..

KAD ones so far have been indestructable - no problems in fitting and the range of adjustment seems to be better on them too.

HTH,
Dave

As far as fitment goes the Minispares ones seen pretty good, near enough just bolted into place! not adjusted them up yet so that could be a whole different ball game! *hehe!*

If they ran horrizontally you couldn't adjust camber, with them verticle it can slide up and down.

on mine (where they run horizontally) you adjust the camber in the grooves, semi clamp it up then ajust the toe by sliding it back and forward.

this make much more sense to me as its the toe that you will want a finer adjustment on IIRC the serations give about 1/4 de camber change each.

Same as on the KAD ones you cannot get an absolutely identical figure for making rear parallel with front side to side due to this.

Just trying to fit my MS camber brackets. Looks like I'm going to have to get the files out... 3 out of 4 bolt holes that run on the under side don't line up. That's on a new heritage frame....

I had to do a bit of filing on mine in the end to get enough adjustment.

Mine are terrible. I'm sending them back. One of them is half a hole out. They are drilled in different places to standard brackets so will never fit.




More money that I haven't got to spend with KAD...

Also had to file out the hole where the radius arm pin sits as the two halves hadn't been lined up properly when they where welded....

I usually like Minispares stuff, but when it comes to rear camber brackets, it's KAD every time. Worth every penny.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

I had to file out the mounting holes and the radius arm pin hole on my MS camber brackets.


I'm thinking about going back to standard brackets and filing the pin hole up to get the right caber and then welding a thick washer in to locate the pin.

I sent my originals off to senior Austin who made them adjustable.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
