They changed the camber settings over the course of production, and the =
TR6 settings are different from the 4A, and there were two or three TR6 =
specs.  That I why there are three sets of brackets available, you can =
either mess around with brackets or get the Goodparts adjustables, I got =
the adjustable ones (you get 4) and put two on the car, on one each side =
of course, and ebayed off the other two as I am a cheap bastard and you =
can adjust with only one on each side.

As in many cases, Buckeye Triumphs has an article on this, which =
includes theoretical camber settings with the various bracket =
combinations.  Good stuff.

Randall,



I just borrowed a real camber measurement device and it says it is 1.75 =
positive on both sides unladen.  When I had the measurement with me =
sitting in it, I went to +1.0.  I weigh more than 150 lbs.  When two =
people are in it, it will most likely STILL be +0.5. =20



So, I will let things settle more for now.  It only has maybe 10 miles =
on it after the suspension mods.  Then it seems likely I will need to =
get the Goodparts adjustable brackets.  I think I need to lose at least =
0.75 degrees on both sides.

FWIW, the spec in the TR6 workshop manual is -1 degree, +/- 0.5 degrees =
in "2 up condition".  Which I take to mean laden with
passenger and driver.
