Adjustable Camber Pins
By Jim Peall.
Ever had a camber
pin bend or brake, I have to put up my hand, so with my consul being a retro
build let’s make it adjustable and stronger. I started with replacing the inner
pin with a 40cm x 40cm solid block with a 3/4” slot 30cm long, the control arm
bush is ¾” inside dia .
The camber pin is
now a ¾” grade 8 bolt and you won’t bend that also drill out the stepped
washers that go both sides of the inner bush out to ¾”. The next step is a locking
strap that goes over the cross member and the camber pin goes through it with
an adjuster slot on top.
With this set up I
can get 25cm of adjustment but best of all it won’t break and if it does it’s
got to be one hell of an impacted. All of the other brackets hanging of the
cross member are for the engine mounts for the v6 Holden commodore motor. Of
course unlock nuts will be used when wheel alignment is done
Well it’s back to
the shed, play safe. Jim.
