Interestingly, that is precisely how we adjusted camber on my old H
production Bug Eye Sprite when I raced it from 1967 - 1972. We had plates
of varying thickness we installed under the front shocks which changed
camber for low and high speed tracks. Of course, we made 'em out of
aluminum which was a weight savings of about 1.2 oz a pair. Which was
apparently a significant enough weight savings that when my first national
win was posted (at the old St Louis area Mid-America Raceway) the protest
of the plates by a competitor was upheld by tech and I lost the win.
Please forgive the nostalgia-attack, I repent and drag myself kicking and
screaming back to 2002. Ahhhh, the good old days...
