Eddy's Sub-frame hanger bolt cam sleeves

[sambb]

Eddy,

With standard struts & springs is it possible to eek out a bit of extra neg. camber and/or castor using the sleeves or is it more that everything will remain within factory limits just solid as a rock? Is there much need for things like front LCA cross braces when you have the sleeves in place given that the subframes will become completely static?

Hoyhoy.

You won't get any more of anything than with in factory limits.
The second part of your question is for the experts to answer.

Eddy how hard was it to remove the domed centre caps in the strut tops? I've got some MCA dampers coming soon, it'd be nice to be able to even out the camber there, rather than shifting the cross member around.

I wouldn't mind a set of your sleeves, if there is another buy, BUT I truly believe your kit needs to be industrialised and produced in quantity. If you want to talk about that let me know.

Pete is the man for mass production.

3D print them?

[Bullet Fast]

Bit expensive for this particular job I'd think. Convenient though!

Removing the dome took a little bit of care & a angle grinder, plus some rags around to protect things.
I'm curious as to what ya going to do when the dome is cut down, you can't adjust camber with that alone with out something like these.



Sounds like you need the camber bolt kit to may be even the camber.

Eddy I've just picked up a set of mca struts to replace the konis. Camber and rate adjustment will be masked by the dome.

I'll do more sets in groups of 5, if there are 4 buyers, we have a go ahead.
I nearly went ahead with a patent design on this back in 2009.
Now if someone else wants to make these, I'm quite happy for them to do so.

Hoyhoy.

By the way 4 sets went out this afternoon.

Ok then:

Anyone else interested in organising another batch of these to be made?

Hoyhoy.

O.K. It appears that "Altec" does have sub frame movement.
There are a two to three sets of cams left from the original lot, so these will available in a couple of weeks in full kits.
These are for > the two above.
Then its going to be for bulk buying.

[Bullet Fast]

Sweet.

Just received mine thanks Eddy. Nice looking bit of gear. I didn't realise we were going to get it in kit form with bolts and spanner etc so I was super stoked to see it arrive like that! excellent value. I can get my hands on Nordlocks easy enough - is there any value to using them instead of the sprung washer or is that overkill ( and way too hard to ever undo again!).

[Stuwey]

Maybe not ideal as they're your camber adjustment left/right. The inserts should look after locating the subframe, whilst the bolts merely hold it there now.
