prob asked loads of times but just need confirmation before I do it....

Is the 7mm gap for the chamber mod 7MM outwards from the old hole or not? So it thoery there is a 7mm gap in between the new hole & old hole?

Thanks. :)

7mm from the centre of the old hole to the centre of the new hole, it will overlap!!!

Speak to Micky - he devised the guide for it.

Theres also a pic somewhere in the album I noticed the other day. under useful stuff or stuff for forums

We have had this before. Make the 7mm holes from the centre of the original holes. This will make elongated holes. Lots of people weld a washer to stop any movement of the shocks in the longer holes.

Yeah I checked out the pic in the album where ade stated, but it shows the 7mm starting from the edge of the hole NOT the centre, also the holes dont over lap in the pic??? :?

Il PM micky on this just to be sure...

Thanks all.

from what i can assertain from mickys guid, my own thoughts on camber and the incorrect pictures in the album.

i strongly belive that the holes are 7mm appart, centre to centre, and do overlap. they are also moved towards the edge of the car, not towards the rear as the pictures seem to depict (that would change the castor, unsure of those effects).

prehaps someone could add pictures of "before" and "after" results for the article??

well 7mm from centre to new centre or 7mm from edge to new edge is makes no diff does it, aslong as you move them out towards the wings by this amount

i devised the 7mm amount using a camber guage.... it's 1mm per 10mm of lowering (from gsi height) and 1mm for luck :lol:

center of hole to center of hole.... us a drill bit just big enough for the stud to go through and then the holes won't fully overlap... remopving the need for a washer to be welding in
