Re: [MarcosManiacs] Correct camber and castor?

Re: [MarcosManiacs] Correct camber and castor?

2008-05-07 by Brian JONES

Hi Larry,
Do you also know what the factory settings are for camber and castor  (or prefered settings) ?
When the chassis was repaired on my '71 Volvo I had adjustable bottom mounts fitted - same as Triumph - bolted through the chassis.  But I'm not really sure what the settings should be.  
Currently castor is -4d 50s, camber -2 deg.  It turns into corners really well,  but a bit heavy -  particularly on long, sweeping bends.  Probably set with too much!
Thanks 
Brian

What would the correct toe-in be for a ’69 metal chassis V6 GT`?

I am not sure. Mine is fixed as was yours. If I remember right, the camber was 0d, adjustable by shock spring adjustment. You might want to contact Rory at Marcos Heritage.sales@rory.uk.com�.
Best regards
