Bobslandies has "0" camber for running radials on his S2a 109.

This was done by machining the outer face of the swivel housing something like 1 degree. The stub axles still bolt on using the original bolts which are slightly angled. I haven't driven his beast but the steering is said to be very light.

I've been looking for tyres for my Series 1 and have found a Firestone LT in 7.00 x 16 http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/...ads/ut2000.asp
First quote was $200each (fitted, balanced and new tube) but I'll shop around.
Any comments as to suitability.......

Hi there

I have spoken to the local Dunlop dealer (Pt Augusta) - and you can still buy the original 700 x 16 road track majors.

With prices from 3 seperate dealers - they range from $130 - $150 each.

All the best
