Cross-ply rear camber

Crossply tyres such as Avon ACB10 don't need as much negative camber as radial tyres, CR500, 888 etc.

On the CSR you adjust the rear camber by using spacers. But what happens if your bolts through the spacers are not long enough?

The wheels fall off!!! Well, almost. This is what happend to me at the "NGK"-turn at Knutstorp last spring. I'm glad I stayed on the track!


This is how the rear suspension looks like:

What happened was the threads on the two horizontal bolts ripped, which caused the two vertical bolts to rip as well.

So if you have a cross-ply set-up with a bit less negative camber, check that you have enough threads left on the horizontal bolts, and maybe replace them with something longer.
