3 degrees positive camber on the rears
Look like I've dropped a b*ll*ck and positioned the upper brackets a bit too close to the edge and I now have 3 degrees of positive camber on my
rears, I don't suppose this is normal as the book says zero.
Why does stuff like this only happen when I decide that everything is right and so fully weld 
Note to self, measure twice weld once 
Cheers
Rich

Sounds too much the wrong way. I though 0-1 degree negative (tops leaning in) would be fine. 3 positive is out.
Sounds like a job for Mr Angy Grinder with those nice 1mm Slotting discs with some careful and steady hands.
Whats the consensus on cutting off the "ears" of the bracket and welding a new bracket on top of the old one, it would only be about 1-2mm
higher, or cutting the bracket off completely and replacing with one in the correct position?
Doesnt sound too much of a problem.
I wouldnt want any Positive Camber let alone 3 degrees worth. Not good for handling on corners.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Cut the ends off the top wishbones and redo them, probably be easier than hacking the chassis.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Slot holes in bracket, weld washers over slots in correct location. Only good if the amount of adjustment needed isn't much though.

Probably too late now, but i just saw a pic of your rear wishbones on another thread. Can't you adjust your rear camber by turning in the rod
ends?
