          Calculate the length of the upper shock arm that will give you the 
          camber you want, heat it and bend it. I believe that is the way the 
          Aussies used to do it on Healey's. Alternatively, you could use the 
          Moss upper A arms and maybe copy them shorter or slot them.

Hi All

I am preparing a 1964 MGB for vintage racing and have a question that I hope 
someone out there has an answer for.  I am using front springs that will 
lower the front of the car about 2", thereby changing the camber 
drastically.  What must I do to get the camber back to about 1 to 1.5deg 
negative?   I would like to use offset bushings on the inner pivots and turn 
them so they reduce the excessive camber but have not been able to find a 
supplier.  I have some bushings on order from Seven but it has been two 
months.  Any ideas on how to adjust the camber or leads on a supplier of 
offset bushings?

Thanks
