One last comment on the installation....
I have a few bits of advice to offer anyone considering these brackets.
1. When you get them, play with them for bit. Make sure you
understand what the full range of travel is for the adjusters especially
in relation to the lower "ear" that the adjuster bolt goes through since
that will be the one you will be closest to on the inner bracket. You
wont have to worry about this on the outer bracket since that is going
to be more mid point in the range anyway for most of us.
2. In his instructions, Richard talks about the stress on the TA
due to the spring and the need to lever the TA into the correct position
as you rotate the adjuster bolt. Take this advice seriously. Don't try
and move the TA just by brute force and the adjuster bolt because the
bracket will bend and the adjuster bolt will bend and it may shear. I
did all of the above. If the adjuster bolt is not moving freely there is
something wrong and even mildly leaning on a socket wrench is going
damage something.
3. Set the inner and outer brackets close to the end state
position before you install them so you can avoid massive movements of
the TA. Richard suggested having the inners all the way at the bottom
and the outers 1/16th above center and I found this gave me the correct
ride height and was close to the correct camber.
These are great brackets and Richard has been very helpful despite my
ineptitude and I offer this advice only with the goal of helping others
to make the best of their installation and not to discourage people from
using these brackets.
