Payment sent.

Hoyhoy.
Me gotcha, on its way shortly.

Hoyhoy.

One thing you have to remember is the wheel alignment, that can take longer than normal because thats the fiddley part to get it as you want.
Once tightened up, she stays.
Mark where they are & then you be should be right for future disassembling.

Mike, I see that your going to the dyno day, if you would like, I'll keep a set & bring them on the day & ya can fix me up then.
You never know there might be negative feedback by then (which I doubt) & you may not want, but that will be O.K.

cheers thanks eddy , ill take up with the leader of the opposition (my partner)
will see you there.

Thanks Eddy, well received. The item appears very well made of. Thanks for the tool as well. I will get it installed in May when I get back from Melbourne.

Cheers!

I don't know if any other subframes have movement or not.
Have a look at the first post, first photo of this thread as to what I found with mine & the bolts were tight.
I also believe that even if you don't have movement that these sleeves will stiffen things up anyway.
There have been 4 sets sent out so far, so for anyone in doubt may be the feed back of these will help you make up your mind one way or the other.
I originally only done this for my Little Blue Girl, but then others were interested getting some, so a small run was made.

[Eddy]

Hoyhoy.

Any feed back, boys.
Me is stuck with some & it did cost me.

Sorry for the delay Eddy,

The installation was done by mechanic and slight machining was required to get fit. They need tight fit! He said it was a well made kit, and something he has never seen before... anyway, I haven't had a chance to do wheel alignment yet, but will be going in soon. Once done right, i don't see why we will need to touch the camber adjustment (through cradle shifting) ever again.

Does feel solid driving around, but I have all the bushings done. So I would say this is for more 'precise and accurate cradle camber adjustment' so that you do it once right and never have to touch again. Not many wheel alignment places would be keen to touch your cradle,and will do their best to play with angles and other adjustment to get the car going straight. I know from the fact that my camber is set so it's going slightly towards left, and this had to be adjusted before.

Time to go back, for the last time.

folks, i'm looking at the first picture and can't for the love of VW fathom where that part is supposed to be. does anyone have a zoomed-out picture (or an ETKA one) that shows the general location of the bolt + screw ?

Just took a couple of quick shots, hope this helps Ya. Its a shame I don't take more pics when I have things in pieces.
First pic. shows one of them (circle) right next to rear bush of the control arm (X).
Second pic. shows the other one right next to the front sway bar where it first starts to curl upwards & near the drive shaft inner CV joint.
Then the same on the other side of the vehicle.

Hi Eddy

Do you have any of the sleeves left?

For the more serious boys, heres another little trick I came up with.
I found the rear control arm bushes have to be located spot on to help reduce movement, so I went one further & bolted the rear bush (custom made 95 enduro),compliments from FULCRUM in Brissy, may sound strange but thats me, fussy.

What would be the issue if a metal washer was used to space the control arm to the bush?
Or am I missing the point, here?
