Brace bars and rear camber adjusters wanted

stamford · 18-03-10, 12:57 PM

I'm after any suspension brace bars, rear camber adjusters for the 180 if you know anyone that may have some sitting in their garage doing nothing.

First port of call before buying new as I already have info on new ones.

I fancy knocking up some rear chamber adjusters. It there is an idea that has potential of being sold to others, I will fetch a couple of sets out of the mig. I have a fabricator working for me 1 days a week. I must keep him busy!

Nice one, I'm sure those that have coilovers would benefit.

Well, I am trying to get adjustable front camber for about £50. So, it would be worthwhile to look at a good way to do the rears as well for the same price.

Yea I saw that, just wish I had the spare cash as I would have them off you in a flash. Sounds like they were Martys ones.

Sounds good, I'd like a front set but those I have seen don't look like they would last too long.

Yeah, those motobodge/jab ones. I thought about just modifying the existing ones. I know that you can get bushings for the top wishbone. I think they would be expensive and I am not sure that you have to adjust two bushings per side.

I thought it would be fairly easy to just make an adjustment to the OE wishbones and set them at something like +1. (A little researcher is needed).

I was looking to getting a couple of standard ones to modify, wouldn't take much to make a good set using rose joints, but not exactly economical! I made a coilover beam axle for my 1340 Mini years ago using big old rose joints, was superb! Seeing that my ZS is now a second car I will do anything to it now as it'll be ocassional use and not for comfort
