Installing front Camber boxes

Filed under: My Racing Journal — cstreit @ 7:26 am

In an effort to get more road-holding camber into the racecar I am ditching the offset ball-joints and upper camber plates and putting in some true camber-boxes into the front of the racecar.  It is a fairly major operation with 3D locating of toe boxes into the existing chassis, and some substantial cutting into the chassis itself.

 Used a laser and protractor to locate first cut line.  Vertical cut lines in place, 6 degrees from vertical.

  It took some serious courage of conviction to start hacking into the chassis once all the lines were drawn out.  I had to cut out part of the support bar in the center which I'll weld back in later.  Here's the first box tacked into place.

Then through the magic of the internet, an houir or so of grinding, trimming, and lots of re-checking the angles, the boxes are in, painted, and the support bar welded back in place!
