[Iain]

Thanks for your support nah will be ready don't worry

[turbojolt]

you have had that thing apart so many times you could proberly put it all back together in a few hours

[thegingerwhinger]

Thread lock those bolts into the gearbox, do them up FT and make sure they are the perfect length too. I've had all manner of issues with mounts, so figured the way forward was a 4th.

[Iain]

Well I've drilled, tapped and helicoiled all three gearbox mounts, swapped to some original looking bolts that weren't THAT much longer but a little bit. Loctited as you said BRoadGhost and they're nice and tight:



While replacing my CV circlip, bottom balljoint and track rod end I thought I'd bosh these bad boys in, should be interesting to find tune the camber and see if they stay positioned as I've heard of people having problems:

Nice work.

[turbojolt]

nice one mate, my speed awarness course is on the same day as your next track day

[Iain]

Haha what a coincidence

[Iain]

Set up the camber bolts today, really easy to get the right adjustment so I hope they stay in the desired position.

Lowering it with the suspension compressed to ride hieght:



Before, 1 deg on the passenger side and a little less on the drivers side for some reason:



After, both sides set up at 1.5 deg neg camber:



Set up the toe again to straight and went for a test drive, turn in feels really vague and slow so reset it back to 1mm toe out and it feels lovely now. Checked my camber after a quick test run and we're still good:

Have you got a link to that camber tool?
