Curious to what is exactly machined here to gain extra Castor?
Also for Camber; I simply shaved a few mils of my steering arm, but you can achieve the same with the "steering flange hub side". Why/how is the main face machined?

Edit; I assume main flange machine to centralise brake disc in the calliper. That makes sense

Hub machined on the main face too to centralise the brake disc and to add more neg camber. Castor also maximised.

Castor was maximised with shims, no machining. I'd say it's possible to achieve more castor though by machining the wishbone at the pickup points and using extra shims. Don't fancy that though

I had to machine the hub to centralise the disc so I had the camber side faces done too rather than machine the arms too

You could've given it a lick of paint

Have you got adjustable cam pulleys so you can degree the cams in?

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

Customs did me for £88 which is less than it should have been I'm sure.... You guys have spotted the obvious, but look closer

is it the brake cooling kit thats making the brake disk sit offset by a few mm, or different disks/bells

Jimmy, Next year should be a blast! Glad you also got a proper wing too! What's happening with your wheel arch extensions? I'm going to also have to modify my arches. I can get my car restorer chap to make me up a custom fitted set in aluminium or steel, which i guess moulds could be taken from...I'm seeing him tomorrow! Max

How do you stop them to rotate on the camshafts?
Is the clamping force enough to secure them ?
How much torque do they use on the SAAB ?


Thanks

Hmmmm, what work needs to be done to get it to work....? More/less work to get the standard head to work...?

Right can someone let me know where I can get pulleys...?

Yeah they were extra wide for some reason and I needed to machine the hub to get it to fit.

Max mate keep me posted about the wheel arch extenders as mine are not looking great tbh. If you can get someone to make some nice one's I'm up for some!
