Thanks for the offer. They look awesome.
I have just finished removing the splines on my bolts and installed Nord-Lock washers.

They do one that's the perfect size. I now don't need to beat the crap out of the bolts and...
Phillip Island Racetrack - Victoria AustraliaNot my greatest laps due to left front wheel deciding to change camber early in the session. Still setting the suspension up so it is definitely a work in progress.
Anyway you guys get to see a track from the other side of the globe situated on an...
I take full responsibility for this one coming loose. Didn't want to remove the caliper to loosen and adjust the hub for wheel clearance to the new springs. Went from metric to imperial and the couple of mm clearance i had disappeared. I thought i hadn't budged the nut but obviously managed to...
Kind of what i thought, set and forget on a road car. Never to be looked at for a few hundred thousand miles. Also thought it may be an assembly process bonus. Not necessarily best practice but best outcome for a manufacturer. Have it in my industry where engineering goes out the window and...
Thanks for that bit of information. Was going to linish the splines down on the origional bolts but was curious if i was missing something from an engineering standpoint. My 944 had modified struts and they came with a factory eccentric washer bolt that adjusted the angle of the spindle...
Sorry for not being clear, The factory bolts. I can get -5 with my camber plates and slotted top fixing hole. It also means i cant run a big rim and need to dial some back for tyre to spring clearance to run a 305 up front. But as @biggsy has mentioned below the factory appears to have changed...
I'm curious as to why the camber adjustment bolts on the strut leg are splined on the Mustang. They aren't on my other cars.
The reason i ask is i had one move a the track on the weekend. Unfortunately couldn't move it back whilst there so had to call it a day.
To me it seems strange that having...
Meanwhile on the other side of the world (Melbourne Australia) it currently 104F and everyone is hiding inside as well.
Stay safe if you are running in the slippery stuff.
Time to throw the cat amongst the pigeons, why are we concerned about oil being up to temperature?
Follow the train of thought and see if it makes any sense.We are concerned about the "Engine" being up to temperature before, i know you lot, "thrashing the living crap out of it".
Understandably...
Self acknowledgement makes you way smarter than all those we have dealt with who think they know everything and have no f'ing idea they know nothing but will happily spread their "knowledge".
Love having access to this collective group of industry experts who have "hands on knowledge". No better...
Everyone i have seen or put on has been rectangular, line up the lower edge at the desired height and trim back to the molding. I think its one of those things that making it too exact just complicates the installation as you have to get it in the exact spot, then you run the risk of clear spots...
Thanks, concentrating on anything and everything to make it survive a good track day thrashing. GT500 sump and engine oil cooler are last item i'm waiting on to arrive.Will get my 944 back up and running, unfortunately 40 plus year old wiring started to become a problem. Haltech Nexus to go...
I'm an electrician, well that the official qualification but design switchboards. If you have a logical and inquisitive mind then you tend to end up researching and understanding what is happening. Official qualifications are for resumes. I think most of the guys on this forum have a background...
Spotted this thread after replying to another similar. Might want to have a quick read of it, it is S550 related but may have some ideas as well as plenty of photos. Plenty of concerns about strength and safety and mounting arrangements...
