Hi Dave,
Thanks for your response. Actually its quite timely as I have been working on some other issues and I'm just getting back now to look at the camber/caster settings.
It's good to know there's another G-Force/Crown chassis Cobra driving around. I have an MS-85 chassis (circa '85) which I have also strengthened to meet the Beam and Torsional testing.
Regarding the caster adjustment, it had occurred to me several days ago that the radius rods could be used to adjust the caster. Thanks for confirming this.
Wrt your caster adjustment yes it does seem strange to have a negative caster as I understood positive caster would help with auto centering of the steering as you drive.
Regarding the uneven shims, I never thought of this. Let me investigate this further to see if it would be useful for me.
Also regarding the toe-in, trying to accurately measure 2mm may be a challenge. I may need to get a professional workshop setup the toe-in. In any case, I'll probably get a wheel alignment shop to do the final setup once I get it on the road.
How do you find the handling of your Cobra overall? I've read some negative comments about these crown chassised cobras handling. However, I have installed new springs, shocks, ball joints, rubbers, etc as well as thicker discs off a later model crown. I'm hoping with correct adjustments it will handle fine.
Cheers,
Greg
