Hey Mik, they're for camber/track not castor. You cut the inner end off your LCA and weld the threaded nut on. This then gives you the adjustability to add track (negative camber) or shorten track (positive camber).
I hope my welding id good as my whole front end will be my welds! Mik- are you free to be my test pilot? I'll pay you in rust removal....

I'll test them on my car, I think 1200rc did similar on his rally car, but look similar to maddat lac. I thought was castor.

Barely worth s mention but msde my VL cslipers pretty today. The mounts are 3M Cast Iron and the rest is just 3M caliper- paint. The paint goes on thick and doesn't like sticking much but it looks the part-

Finally got Fergus back together today. She's been apart since the cruise so feeling very unloved.
I discovered Otomoto had sent me the wrong springs so got in touch with them and they were good enough to send the right ones out. I put them in and I now have suspension travel. It has rock hard before. I replaced 7kg/mm with 4kg/mm springs.

I finished off my Commodore calipers (paint and rebuild) so put them in as well while the struts were out.

One added positive side effect of the softer springs is she goes a bit lower now. What do you think, good height??-

Arse is a bit high though now-

I'd tap it for you. offers there

Hows it turn now that it's lower in front? Scraping or catching on anything?

I've raised it about an inch from that height and it's not too bad. Scrubs on front of guard still when reversing which suggests to me the caster bar bushes are shagged allowing the wheel to move forward. I could be wrong though....
