Bob,

The cover you made looks awesome. I love seeing the solutions you come up with and then make them happen.

Thanks, Howard. The cover is not done yet. I need to fix it in place. My idea is a velcro patch on the firewall and corresponding spot on the cover. Here's an angled spacer inside the cover to mount the velcro.

While letting the epoxy set, I got started on suspension alignment. I want to get the settings close enough so I can take the car for a test drive, and make the final alignment less of a chore.

After I measured the camber again all around, I got started on the right rear. With the wheel off, I can finally re-attach the sway bar link.

Oops, my inner fender liners block access to the outer suspension mount.

That's better. You can see the original stack of shims: 2 x 4mm, and 2 x 2 mm for a total of 12mm.

The first camber measurement was -0.1°. I want something like -0.75° all around. So I removed one 4mm shim. That dropped the camber right on target to -0.75° (and I noted that each 1mm of shim stack change is about 0.15°).

Same process on the left side, but to get the sway bar link aligned, I had to lift the trailing arm.

Here's the original shim stack on the left side, a 2, 3, and 4 mm for a total of 9mm.

Two 4mm shims decreases the shim stack by 1mm. That got the measured camber to -0.75°.

Then I got started on the front. The top of the left strut is easy to access.

The original camber measured -0.3°, so I shifted the strut top inward about 4mm.

That got the camber to about -0.7° on my high-tech gauge.

Of course, the right strut top is blocked a bit by the evaporator tank.

Tank detached enough to get to the inner bolt.

The original camber measured -0.85°. When I shifted the strut top out as far as it goes, I got -0.6°, and then I moved it back inward to get about -0.7°.

Next up: some rough toe setting.

Oops, I lied. Instead of working on toe settings, I worked on soft stuff. First, here is the velcro on my EFI brain cover, and the trunk wall.

I also got more door card parts delivered. I now have a variety of pins and cups.

For future reference, the original white pins (and the URO copies) are longer. The black pins, and both the clear and black cups, all from 914 Rubber, are shorter.

I went ahead with the short black pins and cups.
