Positive camber

[beero]

Just rebuilt the suspension and have a bit of positive camber, about 1/2 inch off the vertical, both sides.
Anyone know how thick the washers for the eyebolts would need to be to to make them vertical?

Blimey - that's a LOT. I'm guessing 1/4" - maybe 5/16" - but do make sure the nut on the inside of the chassis leg still goes on full thread.

Yes Roy, though not noticeable to the eye.
Measured on a level garage floor, spirit level shows the bottom of the tyre is about 1/2" inboard both sides.
Can't understand it, new bushes everywhere.
I guess pushing out the hub by 1/4" should push the bottom of the tyre out about 1/2".
How's your keyboard problem by the way?

We just learn to live with the strange positions of the various symbols..... It asks for a 'disc' when I try to change the keyboard set-up, so that stumps me. And yes - I would (and indeed DID) go for 5/16" plate with a suitable hole drilled as the eye-bolt spacer. Be sure to reset the tracking after doing this.

Will do, thanks.

My Mog is suffering from the same sort of problem. What do you do when you run out of extra thread on the eyebolt? I'm not quite there, but close...

Well - I believe there used to be longer eyebolts available, and it's been suggested/requested that such items would be welcome. But as far as I know - no-one is producing them at the moment. Can only suggest that you make sure there IS still full thread - and perhaps drill through and fit a split pin to ensure security.
