Get Down !

Evening All - hope you got a chance to enjoy your cars this weekend!

Spent a productive day yesterday sorting out my handbrake and lowering my T - which is now significantly lower than previously !! This is a job I've been trying to get done for ages - so am happy to have it done at last !

Not sure about any of the settings though.....but don't those 7's fill the arches nicely ?!!

Regards
Sean

Looks fantastic

Suitably hot rod

Any rubbing?

I've just had mine (on 6" wheels) set to:

Front: 0 toe, 6 deg castor, and 0.5 deg camber
Rear: 40 minutes total toe in, 1 deg camber

..and it works beautifully!

Thanks guys!

No apparent rubbing so far - however I do have a brake caliper intermittently dragging at the moment so that tends to mask most sounds !!

similar to mine Gary, although I'm running + 15 minutes toe on both front & rear

all with the all important 1 deg rake

I was aiming at 30 minutes total toe in on the back (as per the book), but 40 was all we could do on the adjusters whilst keeping the thrust angle at 0.

And don't worry we have the 1 deg down rake

I've got:

1.5 deg -ve at the front/2 deg -ve at the rear
6.5 deg caster
1/16" toe in front/1/8" toe in rear

just checked my setting again & I'm running a bit more front camber than you Gary

sdelan ... car look very purposeful

I was after 1 deg front negative camber, but ran out of adjustment on the RHS so pulled the LHS back to match the 0.5 deg I could achieve.

Well done Sean. Looks great!

Any joy with fitting the car seat? My car is out of hibernation now so I should be able to get the lap belt now if you need it?

Thanks Peter -

Fitted the seat using a spare (front) seat belt - so now have a new little driving buddy!

See you soon hopefully. Are we due a meet up in Chipperfield soon?

Regards
Sean

Just let me know when. I'm away at the moment, but the week after next is good?

Sean, the car looks great, loving the 7's

I have run 7's on my 73T for years but need to watch the tyres fitted for clearance.
What tyres/size are they please?
