Hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone have seen or built a custom adjustable front
suspension? One where you can adjust camber. I know there may be some that
have cut and re-welded the upper arms of the suspension. How much?
I'm asking about unconventional modifications. I know of or have installed
better shocks, springs, bushings and sway bar. I had a Mini that had a fully
heim or rose jointed front suspension and thought someone may have done the
same with a TR.
Cheers,
Mike Thompson

I'm busy restoring and modifying a TR3A . I bought an adjustable
top fulcrum from Revington what enables accurate setting of the
camber. I used it in combination with upper wishbones and the
3deg bottom trunnions from the TR4A/TR6. I also replaced the
rubber central tie-rod bushes with phosphorus bronze ones.What is
left to be done is to replace the actual tie-rods
As anti roll bar (sway-bar) a 7/8" fast road kit is used also from
Revington.
Regards
Jean
