DJ. Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 My car arrived last Monday just before we had 12 inches of snow I've got the wishbones and dampers on (managed to chip the paint bending the alloy to get the bloomin upper left damper bolt back in despite covering the area with tape), but that's another story. When you are next in the garage, could someone please count how many threads are visible outside the adjuster nuts on the upper ball joints please? I've noticed that the two sides are very different as supplied, and it would be helpful to have an approximate position to start with. I'm building a series 3 with standard suspension and metric chassis. By the way, what is the difference between the upper wishbones? I've been careful to fit the one marked RH on the bag to the offside, but can't see any obvious difference unlike the lowers. I'm sure I've missed something obvious Thanks in advance Duncan Edited by - DJ. on 5 Dec 2010 20:27:38 Edited by - DJ. on 5 Dec 2010 22:31:39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj48 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hi DJ-if you need to borrow a camber gauge you are most welcome to use my Dunlop gauge. I will be going to the new East Sussex meet on Tuesday 14th Dec so can bring it with me. Regards Richard Sussex Swede R400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ. Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks Richard, I was just reading about that meeting. I've checked the calendar, and my wife has booked us to go to the Pantomine that night. I would like to borrow your gauge, I plan to go to the meeting in January, so maybe we could meet then if it is convenient for you. Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete-B Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 DJ, Just checked mine as set by CC and there are 13 threads, hope this helps! Peter Edited by - Pete-B on 5 Dec 2010 21:54:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ. Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks, that's great Peter I'll set mine like yours and correct it once I've borrowed Richard's gauge. I never cease to be amazed by the power of Blatchat. Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 DJ, what wheels and tyres are you using? John _________________________ myothercarsa2cv Bugsy: '82 2cv6 😬 Talloulah '08 1.6K Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 By the way, what is the difference between the upper wishbones?Interesting question. Once you remove the ball-joint, I don't think there's any difference. JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
