I had a Ford RS kit for my Mk1 Fiesta that had special tie bars with a longer
section machining so you could adjust the camber with spacing washers.
I did think of using a RS1600i or Mk3 Escort RS Turbo ( i think that was also
adjustable but different to the RS1600i) setup on my Saloon but i think they
were silly money even back then.
I seem to remember somebody did it, Eddie maybe.

On the escort MK3 rs1600i they used adjustable tie bars in place of the anti
roll bar to permit castor adjustment, with the roll bar attached back to those
tie bars with clamps.
As our tie bars are all wiggly(highly technical term there :-) ) they might be
tricky to modify but some custom ones may be possible if you could just shim as
Jim suggests.

If you want to adjust the caster could you not put spacing washers between
the anti roll bar / tie bar and the bush in the track control arm ?
You’d only be able to move the axle to the rear doing that so maybe the wrong
way.

I don't think there should be any play on the Mk1 setup.
Where is the the play ?, between the shock shaft and the bush in the top
mount or lower down ?
I know some modern cars do have a lot of play in the top mount when the car
is jacked up, like my Wife's Corsa, but it's by design.

Hi Jim,
Yeah ours has the nylon spacers on the top of the mounts already.

The build manual for the saloon says fit an extra spacer in the Mk2 top
mount, i guess that would apply to the Mk1 top mount as well.
Needs somebody with an early saloon build manual where the donor was the
Mk1 Fiesta.
Pretty sure the toe is parallel.
I have camber adjusting bolts on my 2+2, i will see if i can find the
settings i ended up with.

Hello Everyone,
The saloon is slowly coming along but the suspension has been a
irritating area to tackle.
First and foremost are mk1 top mounts supposed to have play in them when
jacked up? I have refurbed both ours and fitted new bearings and they still do
this and the car doesn't have a vague feel. I've never driven it hard yet as I
simply don't think it's ready.
Secondly does anyone have any information as regards recommended castor
and camber/ toe in and out. Having now fitted camber bolts and having a
re-tinker this afternoon after a rather dodgy first geometry set up.
It now seems to drive a hell of alot better. But if the mounts are not
meant to have play in them I'm guessing it's my final suspension hurdle to get
it nice and tight. Unfortunately the mounts are not mounted the same as on the
fiesta so your adjustable mounts will do castor not camber as designed.
Cheers
Mick
