    Hi folks! I recently posted an inquiry about the trailing arms on the TR6
and was rewarded with an overwhelming response. Many thanks! So, I have posted
a picture of the TR6 at http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6691/tr6y.jpg. I hope
that you can enlarge the picture so you can observe the severity, at least in
my mind, of the lean in. The thing that bothers me is that the sag seems worse
at the driver's rear corner, and the fact that the gap between door and body
gets larger from bottom to top. Can the camber issue really have such a
profound effect on the body height, or is there another issue at work here? I
have every intention of measuring the body height as well as the camber, so I
will be able to supply you with these results.
    Another question: once I have obtained the camber measurements, how do I
apply them to the list of bracket configurations? Do I use the chart to find
the needed correction and then use this configuration to bring the rear back
into spec? Please forgive me if I seem to be a little dense here, but
something is just not clicking for me here. Senior moment, I guess. I will be
54 this October, but I seem to be having these 'blank' moments on occasion.
    Many thanks to all! Best......Jim McArthur/ 1974 TR6/ CF17672U
 
    Just an afterthought here: I remember the commission number easier than my
anniversary date. I know I'm asking for trouble by this admission! Is this a
senior moment or obsession, or what? I need help. but don't know who to ask!
LOL
