Nick,
The camber/toe for the rear axle is done in a machine that clamps the
housing at the root of the axle tube and bends it from there. It is a
specialist machine and is done using lasers clamped to plates on the end of
the axle aiming at target boards 10m away from the housing. Minute
adjustments are possible.
Good to see it going auk. Keep up the seam welding.
Cheers
Feral Errol

Errol,
It is up on axle-stands in my driveway, the front end is stripped and I am
slowly but surely welding up the seams - This takes a lot longer than I
expected!
Engine and 'box are right to go, the axle conversion is taking some time,
so
is the front suspension conversion.
By the looks of it though I am going to have plenty of neg. camber at the
front wheels.
I was thinking of getting the axle housing strategically 'bent' as you have
suggested before, to give neg. camber and toe-in at the rears. But I cannot
see how to bend the housing cleanly and evenly.
Overall though the project is starting to 'come together'.
My only disappointment is that CAMS don't have a 'club car' category for
rallying, i.e any engine of the same configuration from the manufacturer,
mostly free in terms of modification, so you could run a SR20DET or
something.
(I am getting jealous of the Turbo Brigade, specially Andrew Dennis's
CA18DET 1200 coupe in it's red paint)
That would be just awesome - 1600's, Stanza's, RA22 Celica's, Cosworth
powered Escorts, all with rear-drive, more than 200kW at the rears, and
absolutely mad-as-a-cut-snake drivers.
All events should be pace-noted, then just stand back and watch the men
separated from the boys.
I feel like getting a petition together... :)
Regards,
Nick
