td- fitted camber adjustment an subframe rake .
« on: September 11, 2012, 01:21:57 PM »

After reading others here on retro fitting k-mac camber pins . decided to go ahead with it. the td has an outer metal skin with a 25mm hole in it, inside has a 14mm to bolt through, locating the pin at the top i guaged the radius required for the the swing of the camber pin. this has given me the -2.5 max adjustment for the purpose of hillclimb/circut running. further reading from hotrod build sites that use the tc/td subframe also use a rake to offset the wheel turn to improve the self centre from cornering that was , to say the least , shocking. the nolathane bushes that are in the chassis , the front were same "od" size as a nissan narvara and are offset which gives around 15mm of back rake. redrilling the subframe holes would add more if nessesary after doing this i found, but i have found that it improves the geometry without comprimising any other part of the setup. with the toe out in positive  the steering is agile and firm , not forgetting its setup for hillclimb/circuit,
