rd racimg camber brace owners help!!!
Finally got around to installing this camber brace and I have the two end pieces in but am having a hell of a time getting the brace in.Anyone have any pictures,,instruction, or advice?
I don't want to pull the coolant tubes but that seems like the only way.Thanks!

Hi Karl,
My first advice is to not install it. Once installed it leads to difficulty when servicing the oil lines, belt, transmission (the engine won't tilt up) and water pump. That aside. To install it, feed the bar in from the right side. The part of the bar with the notch goes over the oil cooler lines. Then attach the left and right connector brackets. |

That would be nice if you can post a few pictures. I had one in my former '85 and really liked it. Removing the unit should not be that difficult as it took me about 10 minutes to install the two end pieces on either side of the front suspension. Thanks again.

Karl,
From what I have heard, you would get better results w the V2V chassis stiffeners. BTW, you running in the Crown Point event?

Re: rd racimg camber brace owners help!!!
Camber brace is in and all clears. This is including my under-drive lightweight water pump pulley.
Took about 2 minutes to slide it in from the right and about 20 minutes to align and make sure everything is clear. Thanks!
