Anybody got a revised jig dimentions for the front upper wishbones with camber adjuster?
I ask this because I've got some adjusters and the are obviously wider than the standard threaded tube and mine are 65mm in length but the tube in the book is 60mm?

I could but it still wouldn't solve the issue of them being wider

What Dia. are they then, do you know anyone with a lathe and ask them to turn them down to the right dia.

Do the inner threaded sections fit inside the outer sleaves that the arms weld to? It does not matter if the adjusters are longer or wider as long as the bush tubes and the ball joints still fall in the same places as the book ones.

Yes they do, I was just concerned about keeping the wishbone arms at the same angle and degrees as the original plans

Hi Joe,
If you want, you can post them to me, I will machine them to length and dia. for you then if you arrange for collection.
All it will cost you is the postage each way, I will do the machining in work for you

I agree with Talon, angles don't matter as long as the attachments are at the right positions relative to each other.

P.s Arfon
I've looked at you photobucket pictures,
How did you get your parts looking so good? What did you use to remove the rust and what paint?

Electrolysis and a dremmel and long hours in the workshop and hammerite spray paint I also used patio heater lamps to bake the paint off
