Show me your - Adjustable Camber / Castor Plates
 
I need photos of Adjustable Camber / Castor Plates for the front struts.

Also photos, drawings, and dimensions of the boxed front Adjustable Camber / Castor Plate mounts.

Thanks Everyone!

I think they do but they require you to weld in new strut tower boxes.
Try SRP

I don't have adjustable camber plates myself, but take a look here:

One note: if you're getting struts custom made, or even if you're raising the spindle on existing struts, you can add static camber without having to get the expensive doo-dads.

Yes!!!!

Thanks Guys!!!!

He's just saying that when you cut the spindle free from the strut, you can reweld it in the raised position with a little built in camber. A little grinding on the inside will do the trick. Very small changes on the spindle can do a lot compared to having to move the top of the strut.

Be sure to use lots of castor oil when you assemble those.

Mine are pretty simple.

These (0.120 plate w/welded on spherical bearing sleeve);

Great Tip Thom! Do I rub it on my tool wench or the car?

Project935 do you have any drawing with diminsions you would be willing to share??

I found that QA1 makes an adjustable plate to fit their adjustable struts ( the ones I am using at the center of the air ride system ) but I will still need to fabricate a base for them.

Thanks for all the help!
Todd

project935 01-21-2005 07:52 AM

I have CAD of the plate/sleeve I can send anytime.

I still need to CAD the base on my chassis - might be able to get to it this weekend.

doozer 01-21-2005 07:54 AM

Wow, could you send it to porschev8@hypertec.ws

Thanks!
Todd

doozer 01-21-2005 08:13 AM

I might as well go ahead and do the rear while I am at it..

Woo Hoo $154.00

These are the plates that will work with the QA1's I am getting!

That's super cheap!

You need to make sure it will fit in the general vicinity of the OE shock tower and still allow for a decent adjustment range - my first guess is that they look kinda big.
