    Thanks Paul.

  • Paul Walbran09 March 2026

    Use a spirit level to measure camber.
    Hold it plumb and adjacent to the wheel, measure the difference between offsets to top and bottom of the rim, and the distance between the two datum points, a bit of simple maths and there you have it.
    Or if you prefer to avoid the worst of the maths, for 13" wheels it is a tad under 6mm per degree.

    Trev

    Prices always go up instantly, but take weeks to come down when the market changes.

  • T Mason09 March 2026

    Interestingly I thought petrol stations had jumped on the bandwagon the way its gone up this past week but I read yesterday of an independant that was telling customers they are not making any more profit from petrol as the wholesale price had gone up 8p per litre in 5 days. Yet again the motorist being ripped off by the oil companies as it should take weeks before it goes up and of course more mo...

    1973/4 Israeli Arab war. Result? Oil crisis and a 3 day week here.

    WFH offset that this time around?

  • anamnesis09 March 2026

    What comes next?, I asked in the title to this thread.

    2 quid a litre is what!

    Oil price spike due to nut case Iranian Ayatollahs and Mullahs blocking oil supplies, murdering their own, bombing their neighbours, and being bombed -- hopefully but not likely quickly, into submission - in their own oil fields.

    It was always serious.

    Now ww3 really isn't off the ca...

    Prompted by Mikes post, I've been reading archive mgb damper conversion threads.

    All looks like it should be a superb conversion.

    However, the big problem, and the main reason for the conversion is, naff recon/used mgb dampers.

    If you can't get decent mgb dampers and more than you can get decent original Spridget ones, then what's the point?

    I see there are preponderanc...

  • A de Best09 March 2026

    I have the mgb conversionkit Mike mentiones.
    Had some reenginering issues to actualy fit the mgb dampers as they are bigger then the spridget ones.
    My car is a lhd one with a Rover K series in it so I have some non original parts on non original positions like the sepparate oilfilterhousing(is now a upsidedown one) and different alternatorbracket ad belt.

    For the first time the ca...

    Thanks Jeremy. Hopefully yours from the rebuild will be good, then I'll get my fronts done too. As I have a spare pair of rears, I'll have those done too, as they are all a bit uneven.

    I had the FL kit on the front, but went back to levers when the FL oilite bushes became worn. Plan is to rebush and refit the FL 'temporarily'. The oilites are very cheap and easy to fit, but the pivot pins...

    As an engineer the answer was easy as multiplication and division take precedence over addition and subtraction, brackets not required.
