Ha, nope only the mk1 came with the quartec wheel. I'm using an omp type wheel.
Current job is changing the lower ball joints as the mgf ones have too much camber. I have some rover 100 ones which have a few degrees less. Also I may slot the wishbones to allow adjustment. But first I have to drill out the stupid rivets !! |

So I've decided to stick with 14" wheels and the 240mm brakes, I'll add a remote servo if needed.
I've been busy drilling out the rivets on the mgf wishbones to fit R100 ball joints for less camber, might make them adjustable too if needed. The rivets have to be drilled, no way they are coming out any other way. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Always best to have the nuts on the bottom. In the unlikely event they work loose its less likely the bolts will fall out and the balljoint separate itself from the lower arm whilst at speed.

Yes the bolts need to go in from the top, the ones that came with the r100 joints are only 8.8 so I'm going to change them for some high tensile. I just used these to whack through the arm and joint, it's packed full of sealant which made getting them in a fight. Not a bad idea though, once the camber is set I may seal them again.

I realise that you have done this to sort the camber out. A pic showing what it looks like now would help...

So after fitting the Rover100 joints there is defiantly less camber, I still might make them adjustable though.

Had it in for an alignment today, they had to narrow the ramps lol.
Now that the tracking is not toe'd in a load it drives quite well, just like a big mini. I could do with drilling the left ball joint holes out slightly to get the camber equal both sides but it's within 1 degree. 2nd gear is a hoot ![]() Improving the brakes is next, the effort it there but they could be better. ![]() Posh wheels on at last! ![]() |
