How to eek out a bit more rear camber?
I just put some fat rubber on my 83SC, and need a tad more camber on the rear due to minor fender rub.
The max camber I could achieve is 1.3 deg. Any tricks on how to get another 0.5 deg, short of machining another eccentric with greater offset? Gratuitous pic attached Thx Al S

Sometimes the toe eccentric interferes with the full range of camber. Try removing the toe eccentrics, adjusting the camber, then reinstall the toe eccentrics and adjust the toe.
What happens sometimes, is the toe eccentric is in the oblong side down position, and fouls the opening in the arm, preventing full camber movement.

What Tyson said.
You should be able to get a lot more than 1.3 degrees at that ride height. Its normally the front where it is hard to find camber. |

I believe Elephant Racing has a product that allows you to run more negative camber on the rear as well IIRC. You may want to check them out or perhaps Chuck will chime in here.

I modified my eccentric bolt to be "more eccentric" by slightly undercutting the eccentric portion with a die-grinder and welding the other side. It only took about 5 minutes.
