Strengthen Plate Plus Eccentric Top

[engine killer 6]

The eccentric strut top available in the market allows us to adjust camber but tied with caster change (maybe un-desirely)

 

The Pict shown here was what i found a few years ago from a home brew 206, it was using the eccentric top similar to 205. It also has the strengthen plates welded but with the holes slotted to allow direct camber change without altering caster. In this setup the caster can be altered by turning the strut top, the camber can then be fine tuned by the shifting the strut top to a side.

 

Has anyone tried this method to obtain -ve camber and more caster before?

BakerBM (Stew205 on here) offer adjustable top mounts that can be adjusted for camber and caster independantly, although I've no personal experience with them - clicky

EK, my new build has a similar approach, although I didn't end up with much adjustment because of the concentric top mounts I have - they meant you can't really move it inboard much without hitting strut braces or the inner part of the strut mount (depending on whether you have the top mount underneath the body panel, or above it). But seems sound in principle?

I have seen Steward's design on other cars before and it works.

 

I bought one camber adjustable strut top from Japan long time ago and redesign the plate to accommodate caster adjustment. After a few years thrashing a crack appears at the weak point. So I am thinking of using the top plate slotted for caster adjustment and retain the very original design for camber adjustment.
