Actually the racers would (if they understand alignments).

I know the AX guy's around here spend plenty on stuff that doesn't help. I used to set all three axis of the chrysler front ends in just a few minutes and road test to center steering wheel. All in under 20 minutes. Seems like this would be great for track or autocross. Instant alignment for the specific track.

brad, first we better check the rule books. I understand enough to know that those things will kick me right out of most vintage classes.

Chris, those last pics I posted are of Nick V's 914. I took those at an event at Watkins Glen this past summer.

BTW Im interested in your suspension console idea

I wasn't too sure because it doesn't say "Formula" (like Ferrari) on the side of the car in your pic, like it did last time I saw it.

I thought there was a fence inside the garages at WGI.

I'll post pictures of the suspension when I get it together.

new 914 control arm that adjusts camber/caster at the wheel

That looks nicer than what I saw in pics of Roger Sheridan's car in the past. Good idea, but seems like it would be somewhat more difficult to adjust than the stock method.

Foley,

We need to chat about a new 914 control arm that adjusts camber/caster at the wheel. I have some already made.. I just need them duped. The jigs are buried in Texas and I wont have access them for another 6 months or so...

Here you go.

Brad,

I see the camber adjustment, but fail to see how caster is aeffected. Can you please explain?

Thanks,

Andy

Brad,
What would the front/rear suspension setup pictured above cost?
I will do the front, for sure....need more info on the rear.

BTW, What you did to support the tranny is just right, minimalistic design,,,,,love it.
Is that the new version????

Andy.. I really shouldnt have said "caster". I get so used to chatting about the front end that it ends up in type.

Brad,

Are the spherical bearings in the pic used for the trailing arm shaft? Also, where do the two A arms tie in? I assume these are used to set and maintain toe as well as stabilize the ears.
