Right i ve got two probs that ive been trying to sort but still not sorted.1st is my coilovers keep on loosening and the camber goes negative when iam driving so rubbing against the tyre which you dont want,ive tightened them up several times but the keep on loosening?2nd problem is ive put a lockwood kit in my sr dials all the dials work except the speedo when i removed the needle and put the white face on i put them back in the car and now the speedo is under reading is there a way of resetting the speedo setup? any info i would be grateful :thumb:

problem 1. might need some loctite or similar, but you really need to do them up heffing tight. 2 is down to lots of patience & a few trys to get it in the right place,

are you using new nyloc nuts?
i have never came across a problem with nyloc's coming undone.

If you've slotted the coilover then I don't think camber bolts will help as they're meant for a standard round hole. Welded washer in the position you need them at will be spot on

Tack weld a washer into the position you want the struts, easily ground off later
