Exerting myself


In the coldest weather tried I to adjust frontal axle constructive geometry on VW 1302 Super Beetle. The adjustable portion is the lower arm inner hinge bush supported with cam design, so the most out side adjustment means that of negative camber direction.
Though the most outside adjustment for the trial on both side, 10 minutes negative camber was obtained on the left side, on the other hand right side was positive 5 minutes. As an initial measure strut upper mount displace toward inside was tried obtaining camber value zero degree. So the next step would be tried on coming Thursday, right lower arm displacement toward outside by adjusting inner bush cum constructive support, making holes longer to out side, bush inner race to inner direction and outer cum shape to flat.
Porsche 911 '71 has the camber value zero, so minus 15 minutes negative camber would be applied to my lovely VW 1302 Super Beetle according to my own experiences.

Nervous problem is downed rear suspension, this is caused by a heavy air conditioner compressor and condensor with evaporator, all are in rear end. Though straight running stability may be expected, too much negative camber causes slipping loss. Probably these kind of devices would be eliminated for many reasons.

Finding out some brake oil pilling on the connecting hose between reserve tank and brake master cylinder. How come? I considerd well the hose material, silicon one because of oil base quality, not ordinal butyl rubber tube. Anyway check it out! The reason, tube crack or melting? According to the conclusion, I must seek and find out the suitable connecting tube at any rate.
Now residual tasks are fuel line copper pipe hunger setting, wheel alignments and H4 head bulb replacement from yellow to transparent one.
Probably least half a month interval is required more.
