In reverse order. Bottom shows the problem. A serious bottom out at 200+ bent strut towers, lower clevis holes (now sleeved with 8140) and camber plates.

Solution? 12mm 6061 alloy camber plate at a fixed 2.8deg camb and 8.8deg cast from my math. Pressed the other bits straight and wham, fixed ohlins shit, 316 stainless fastenings with m6/m8 coarse threads throughout. Obligatory cracka and lol stamps on top plate and next to no aesthetic care. Might spray em black...

Just for kiks I thought you guys might like to see.

Place I used to work years back. Tops are made from scrap hence random holes.I'll have alignment figures for them in a month or so when I can be stuffed aligning it with the new alloy bits and pieces on.
