On the front of my Luego i have cortina uprights with the classis maxi balljoints and transit draglink tops m18 iirc. But i have massive camber and if
i unscrew them im worried there will not be enough threads in the arm... here's a pic of the camber and where the thread goes to at the moment
(to my finger nail)

also where can i get some safty nuts in that thread
Why not unscrew it until you have about 1mm of camber and then check how much you have in there. Then make a judgement?
Lock nuts were normally supplied with the arms. Failing that a good nut & bolt stockist would have them.
Are you sure the wishbones are suitable for Cortina uprights?
They might be designed for Sierra uprights?
Yeah classic. I had it the other way. Cortina bones and Sierra upright. It looks like you have Sierra width bones and Cortina upright.
which luego chassis are you using ?
the velocity xt uses sierra uprights..
not sure about the locost chassis wishbones

My Luego Locost uses Cortina uprights . IIRC Lolocost sell the lock nuts. If the end of the thread is level with your thumb in the second piccie I
would have thought you have enough thread to adjust safely . Adjust it and recheck!

looks like a velocity to me....
Me thinks sierra wishbones!!!!!
Its a Luego Velocity with Locost GRP and i did spec Cortina Uprights when ordering... i hope they got it right There exactly the same length as the rears if that makes a difference. It just looks like there will only be an inch left in the arm if i wind it out which i would have thought would be unsafe with heavy breaking. hmmmmmmmmmm now im worried. lol
A safe minimum of thread engagement would be 1.25x the thread diameter. This would be 1.25x18 = 22.5mm.

wow that sounds very little. not sure i'd be happy with that breaking hard from 150mph+ lo maybe ill adjust and double check
