[Healeys] Moss Motors adjustable camber bushing set

George,
I do not see how having the king pin inside or outside of the fulcrum pin has
anything to do with it.
The hole is never closer to or farther away from the engine. The hole,
regardless of where it is orientated, is always the same distance from the
engine because it is located by the fulcrum pin which is in a fixed location
determined by the shock arms. When the bushing is orientated as shown in Moss
Motors left illustration (towards the engine, but not closer to the engine),
it is the fulcrum & therefore the top of the king pin which is located farther
away (not closer) to the engine resulting in more positive camber, not less
camber.

Gary,

If you look at the orientation of the king pin to the upper fulcrum pin and
bushes you'll note that the fulcrum pin is outboard of the king pin therefore
with the hole in the bush toward the engine the king pin will be positioned
toward the engine thus giving less camber.  It took me a while to figure it
out also.  If the fulcrum pin were oriented in line vertically with the king
pin then what you are saying would be correct.  However that is an
impossibility in design so the fulcrum pin has to be either outboard or
inboard of the king pin.  Hope this helps.

Take care,
