Found this while searching one day, and thought that this could be the solution to the problem when lowering the MA61 the rear camber becomes too great. But i just cant quite figure out how it works as theres only pictures on the web page. If anyone has seen this mod before or knows how it works please explain

My MA61 crossmember is currently being modified by the same workshop. It's pretty simple really, they just install eccentric bolts on the trailing arms to allow vertical adjustment, same as the existing eccentric bolts which allow horizontal adjustment (ie for toe).

Dunno yet, still waiting for the shop to get back to me. Hopefully not much though, it's just a couple of bolts and a bit of cutting/welding!

hrm... this is something i might have to employ on the crown as well. Negative camber on the 130 series at anything below normal ride height is, well, massive.

It isn't too scary, but why reinvent the wheel. Get them to make up another set of brackets when they do Norbs, send me the details to put them on in the correct position, I'll send them some money and I'm happy as a pig in shit !!!

I already asked about this, they said they weren't willing to do it. I could possibly get you a pair of camber bolts though, the rest is just cutting/welding as far as I know?

Its not that hard to do. I believe Kmac sell the bolts, and all you have to do then is slot the existing brackets, and also make up a second set of brackets to reinforce the first ones.
While its not an MA61 the Datto1600 guys do exactly the same thing. Tim did this to his: http://www.group3j.com/rear_xmember_fab.html

Thanks for the link.
It won't be that hard, but if someone already has the measurenments of the size of the bracket, slot position and size, why reinvent the wheel !!!
Norbs, any pic/measurements will be greatly appreciated
Cheers
