I rebuilt the rear brakes. I hated it. I'm going to upgrade to discs soon.

I did some work on my L20 exhaust manifold.

I love the eng stand! How does it attach at the front? Does the oil pan just rest on the top of the tube?

 

Thanks Mike, yes it is just resting on the 1" x 1" square tube. My engine guy Steve built it.

 

How long have you been on iRacing?

 

I'm not on iRacing. They gave me those stickers and a year subscription some time ago. I just think they look cool! :D

Hi!

Is your 411 have the E1 motor?

Like to see how the stock Nikki carb connected with linkage to the firewall

 

I don't know. I thought it had a J13? I'll snap a pic and send it to you. ;)

Okay, you lower the rear of a 510 and you need to adjust the rear camber. So I've seen how people slot the inner mount for the trailing arm and install some kind of jack shaft bolt.

 

This is my take on how to do this. I made mine adjustable using eccentric cam bolts. What do you think?

Bob, does this give you enough range of adjustment for a very low car?

 

 

I don't know. :unsure: But I'm not going "very low". ;) Here's my ride height.

Once I get it on the alignment rack I'll record and report the "range" that this set up allows.

 

I hope it works! :huh:

Bob, that idea is great and i have seen it done several times before on 510's. However, let me share that i have been doing alignments for about 20 years now and have seen that design be a problem on a 510 many different times. For some reason the cams slip, the bolt size will not allow you to tighten them enough to stay. Everything seems good until you hit a good hard corner. A small tack weld after adjustment does the trick though.

 

I know that many cars use this adjustable design, and i have only seen it be a problem on the 510's.

 

Good luck.
