Re: Camber correction
Yes thanks I'm familiar with the construction - I've no concerns regarding the integrity of the repair but will double check when adjusting camber!

Re: Camber correction
No – not Wares! According to the invoice the eyebolt was siezed in the chassis leg so it looks like they cut a section of the leg out to release it and then welded it back together! Looks to be a decent welding job but obviously did'nt get it back in exactly the right place. Next step is getting a c...

Re: Camber correction
I'm doing my homework before getting the camber checked and corrected if necessary. I've only owned the car for a few weeks and a recent invoice which came with it suggested that after replacing most of the nsf suspension components (no info as to why) they were unable to get the correct camber read...

Re: Convertible sill strengthener
Is this spaced away from inner sill to form another box section behind the boxing plate?

Re: Camber correction
Thanks for the reassurance- are the washers available to buy? - if not can you tell me the diameter of the eyebolt shank please.
If I need more spacing than the "free" thread on the eyebolt would it be OK to turn a couple of mm off the nut?

Camber correction
I know that previous posts have discouraged the use of C washers on the eyebolt to achieve camber correction due to possible water ingress corroding the chassis leg but would'nt it be possible to seal it with external grade silicone or something similar? Assuming I was fitting a C washer,would I jus...

Convertible sill strengthener
Can someone tell me what the sill strengthener on a genuine convertible looks like and where it's located in the structure. I can't see it in the Moss exploded diagrams!

Sill kick plate fixing
The reason I asked was because the new stainless covers I've bought don't have the holes for the self tappers!

Sill kick plate fixing
I have a 1968 convertible. Should the kick plates be fastened with self tappers along the upper edge as well as the bolts at the bottom? If so where exactly should they go and how many?

Hands required!
Hullo everyone. I am a fairly new member and have recently acquired a 1968 convertible. I have owned various classics over 30 years (including a split screen moggie) and done most of the maintenance myself but can no longer do anything practical due to a neurological condition which has rendered my ...
