Some nice bits arived today aint bad for £60 including ball joints! what a fantastic buy :D

Are teh Mushrooms excentric?

TT

The mushrooms are from a MK indy so duno if i can use them.

here is a pic

The haynes is designed with eccentric mushrooms which help with the self centring of the steering which is vital for the iva test.

They look offset just check its the correct ammount

They look fine, as you rotate them the offset will increase (usually need them fully forward) then set the camber with the drag link.

Calipers look nice......;)

I was going to say that the correct amount is a function of the rotation + camber adjustment.

But Spud beat me to it :)

sweet. well if they are not right i can get the haynes ones so no big deal. Here are the ball joints i have to admit im well chuffed.

Looks like you got a real bargain there :cool:

mushrooms look ok too;)

soon be on wheels eh.

cheers

They look concentric to me too, but I think the consensus is that eccentric is desirable, but not a big deal really.

The effect on the self centreing is minimal, that's mostly set by the caster, which the offset mushrooms have no effect on.

Nice thanks for the info guys :D

Well here is todays progress. Did a good 9 hours today not that it really looks like it!
