Simon,
How thick are the spacers!
It may help if 240K hubs are used with 240K discs rather than the 200B
hubs?/Discs combo as this has less offset than the 240K combo! I have never
had a clearance problem with the 240 K hub disc combo, but Ill wait for
your reply!
Cheers
Feral Errol

Not 100% sure but i think they are standard, not sure

lower pivot point type. 1971 model

240k
>What hubs
approx width is 44mm i think, not sure
>What discs!
200b solid 245mm
>What parts are contacting the discs when cornering?
just the edge of the control arm, the disc is now coming down and into the
control arm and grinding that away istead of the disc like before. Cause
its
the edge of the disc coming into it.
>What happens when you jack the body up and the arms droop?
To the arms?? They drop further and there is alot more clearance but
not much clearance when on wheels. Controlarms are now only a couple of
degrees down from horizontal but the spacers have deffinetaly helped.
