Dont the brackets bolt on the outside, so the plate that we can see would be ontop of the subby! 1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

Yep standard, just wait till you try and set the front to back alignment. Had to cut and 1/8th of an inch off of the o/s bracket on both Axel's, Josh's, my mate Stuart's and the Mighty Mini I set up! MS quality! On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

Makes you realise its worth paying the extra for the likes of the KAD ones if it saves a lot of time. |

I bought the minispares ones assuming that they would actually fit. I'm going to complain - It may appear that I am really pissed off about this but i'm not. Just can't undersand how difficult it is to produce a simple bracket. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

Looking at the MS website the ones they have are different from the ones I bought from them about 5 years ago. Those ones fitted fine, only needing the holes slotted if you were using shims to adjust toe. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

The KAD ones fit perfectly but they are a bitch to set the rear toe & camber as there is no threaded adjuster like the MS ones. I discussed this with Colin & Dave @ KAD and there was a lot of shrugging! So to make the KAD one perfect this is what they need. On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

For parts like this it's a total no brainer or me .... the Min-Its stuff just works ... if you do have any problems with their stuff a quick call will soon have it all explained without once stating what a pratt you've been .... although Dave is no doubt thinking it!!!

I have some in the garage, camber only .. toe via shims ... they are my preference to the knurled plate type ones.

Will post pics next time I'm in there (but that could be a while as I find it really depressing to go in there and see the Mini knowing that it will be weeks, maybe months, before I can even think of picking up a grinder again :( ) I know the type - shims = PITA - had hoped there was a third type I did not know about!

Fairy snuff then Scruffy. I personally think the knurled type are a PITA as I have never known a set stay put!!

Interestingly enough I have just last night done the rear tracking and toe. I have the KAD brackets.

We have a 4 hour racer here in Norway that have given up on all these type of brackets as the all moved a lot during a race. He has now made his own setup with camber adjustment on the outside and toe on the inside. He has the bolt system also used on the minispares brackets to hold things in situ if I remember correctly. Another possibility is to weld them when you are pleased with the setup you have... |
