Car Forum / MINI / September 2005Moke Project - Round 2
I've got me new clutch (sadly my brilliant and friendly stockist http://www.heritagegarage.com was out of lightened flywheel due to no fault of there's. The chap that ships out of UK went on vacation - where is this Mans priorities I daresay - lol), adjustable lower arms and adjustable tie rods as well as camber/toe adjuster. It's going to be a fun DIY weekend. Oh I almost forgot a chrome ultimate top steady. I have the garage fridge well stocked with beers if anyone wants to stop by and supervise.

Regarding the camber/toe adjuster, I take it that it's for the the rears? I fitted mine and found I got horrendous tyre wear on the rears as I didn't get adjusting shims with mine and was told they'd be ok. No 'kin chance - nearly ruined a new set of falkens within 175 miles! Measure the distance from the rear edge of the sill to the point off the grease nipple so you know your starting point! Just a thought! Chris Thanks Chris, I'll keep that in mind. http://austinmini.ositech.net/Happenings.htm SignatureQuickSilver - Visit my world Searching for a Class A Coach in SoCal http://AustinMini.OsiTech.Net >> I've got me new clutch (sadly my brilliant and friendly stockist >> http://www.heritagegarage.com was out of lightened flywheel due to no [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Chris 8< > Regarding the camber/toe adjuster, I take it that it's for the the rears?
