Isn`t there a set of adj castor rods from a Torana that you can use? Is there much needed to make them fit?

There is about 5mm space between the tyre and strut, give or take. I thought it was going to hit when I put the tyres on! I think it's a combination of the radius rod rubbers gone and the offset... Would this setup (stock struts with TRXies) make steering a lot easier? Because it has! -james -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:membersozdat_owner@;datascribe.com.au] On Behalf Of Terry Rudd Sent: Wednesday, 30 October 2002 11:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: TRX rims dont fit (still!!!) I was thinking the same as you Andrew - 240k/200B hubs are 8mm wider track over stock 1600, but TRX rims reduce the track by 25mm due to the offset (I worked it out this time). On stock struts they narrow the track by 33mm so you have to put some real sticky rubber on them if you want good handling - if it's only for looks then all of what I've written is off topic. They nearly must be hitting the inner suspension and not the guards - if the later is the case then you've got me. I guess you have to have a close look to identify what they are hitting - a 195/50x15 tyre is 4% smaller in overall height that a stock tyre, so it must be the combination of offset & hubs that are the problem regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:membersozdat_owner@;datascribe.com.au]On Behalf Of Andrew Greenbury Sent: Wednesday, 30 October 2002 7:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TRX rims dont fit (still!!!) Hi James, hmmm I dunno - I have trx rims with 195/50/15s and I dont have this problem (I did though when I had the 60 series on as did yourself :) Perhaps its to do with the struts - I have 240K struts which increase the track in the order of 10mm??
