Lots of ways to adjust camber on a TR3/4/5/6, this is certainly a good  
one. It would be best to anchor the bar in the middle so you could  
adjust each tower separately, but what the heck. The bar is absolutely  
necessary if you want your car to handle well, otherwise it will have  
variable camber as the towers bend in and out. Not good.
