vb to be vc satin black brock

Castor out by mile looks like this / \

if you mean camber, undo your strut tops and rotate them back in their corect spot. there is a hole in your tower which wouldve left a mark on the strut top to tell you where it needs to be installed. if the 2 holes line up, then check you havnt put the LHS on the RHS by accident.

the strut tops are not symetrical. the center of the shock is offset and if the top isnt in the right spot, the struts angle can be + or - heaps.

Will my cut down vr strut tops rotate the same?
And does any one have a smart way to pump guards?

Your strut tops wont be the same if you have positioned your studs evenly, the factory studs are eccentric to the strut hole in the middle giving you 3 different positions with different camber/ castor settings. Its a trade of because you compromise one or the other to get it as good as possible.

Can you post a pic of the front of the car showing how the wheel sit with the wider track?

Lights camera action



Rear bar, tail lights. Soldered rear lights loom to the vn loom, after fuel pump, demist and boot 'pop'.
Was only me so dont know if break lights work.
Tail lights being a pain there not there, same with head lights and blinkers

Headlights have 12v power to globe but not working! Power to one terminal when globe disconnected, and powers all 3 when globe plugged in. Even when lights are turned off. But theres no light, tried 2 globes. Runs a head light loom from a vs.
Can any one shed some light on situation?


And haven't had a good look at blinkers would a lack of side ones matter?

They use negative switching on the headlights.

blinkers will need the hazard light switch installed to work.
