(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Unless you're racing a lot, how many times do you adjust the toe on street/autox/de cars? Putting the heim joints on isn't expensive and works. |

assumes you can source, fabricate, and mount the external toe-link for $0, which I don't believe many people can... It appears the external link may provide some reinforcement which the big-HP, big-tire people could use. If you just want quick toe adjustment, the Tangerine parts look quite nice. I believe the real total installed cost is going to be pretty close either way. |

Uh..vs $320.00 from Patrick? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) No... Never said a word about PMS ... I bet one can build a setup like the one pictured in my initial post for a lot less than $240. And i have no idea why you think that one needs to remove the rocker panels to do the adjusting. On my 914, there's plenty of space to get a wrench in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |

I dont disagree the average joe might be able source the parts for less than that, but then you have to weld-up, not only the body, but the stamped steel spot welded mounting ears, w/o distorting the sh*t out of them. Not something the avg. Joe has skill or access to. My point was, while agreeing that the application of toe adj. was a good one, I tend agree w/Rich that it may end up costing near the same as a BOLT-ON solution. I have no experience with ease of adjustment of that setup I was just responding to a previous comment. K.I.S.S. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
