Hi Clay, I suppose that considering your visor is at my place until you pick it up, there's room on this thread for a pic of it. Patrick

You need to borrow Clay's tin of "Oh My Goodness That's Orange" to paint that visor
Cheers,

a couple of wheels arrived while I was in WA, so I thought I'd ease myself back into it all and tidied them up

It'll probably be a while before there's progress on the ute ... I might stay in WA for a couple of months to avoid the Canberra cold.
Sold off some spares when I went home last week so I've been hitting eBay and gumtree. There'll be heaps of deliveries happening back home
...
After seeing all of the talk about camber on Clay's thread, I thought I'd post a pic here ...

I haven't seen any pics of FBs or EKs with serious negative camber - do they exist?

Had a fair bit on my ek when I lived in the hills but nothing that serious. You can get a couple of degrees out of the rear end and they do sag over time according to the suspension guru near me. Any more and the splines will bind in the spider gears.

How do you change the angles on the rear axle?

Bend the housing, which happens naturally over time anyway. They used to bend them on the commodores pre irs.
