locost, running drums on the rear. just took the top wishbone off and found that the problem is the 't' piece camber adjuster the tube section of it is the rong size for the bush's. so i think the guy who built it as used the rong size tube for the bush's
can anyone tell me what size tube you use for the bush's ??
A bit more information may help. A "book" locost normally uses a live axle , it sound like yours may be IRS? If so what make might help? failing that invest in a pair of verniers and start measuring? Rally Design amognst others stock bushes
as far as im aware its just a locost gsxr1000 with irs, the bush's are the same as the wishbone 1's. so just need to know the tube size for
the bush to sit in .. 30/33mm something like that, just want to double check

Unfortunately your answer is like saying "i've a problem with my car, what size wheels does it have?", when we ask some questions your
reply is "its a standard car with 4 wheels, an engine and gearbox - what size are the wheels".
Now I appreciate my answer doesn't help so .....
'Locost' IRS rear ends have been built by MK, MAC1, stuart taylor (plus some others but they're designs are more distinctive and less
locost looking). The offical locost book has a ford escort rear end with other versions being a modification of this hence the initial word locost was
in quotes. So the bloke who built the car was either building a manufacturers kit or its a home build / designed not standard locost. If its a
manufacture then we need to identify them and then someone with the same car will help. If its not a manufacters car then you'll need to get some
vernier calipers to measure it.
The simpliest way forward is to post a number of pictures of your car. We'll need some from the front, side, rear and where the rear section
joins to the bit by the roll bar to help identify it. Then we'll need some pictures of the part we're talking about as its attached to the
car. By doing this we'll probably be able to identify the car and then hopefully help narrow down the part (if its made by a manufacturer). If
not - we're back to you getting some vernier calipers and measuring it yourself.
Sorry if this isn't the reply you wanted, i'm trying to be helpful - honest.
