Arrow Interest? Stronger, cheaper Camber Alignment Bolts
I'm looking into having a set of replacement Alignment Cams produced for the FD. These are much more precise, stronger and about half the cost of the OE options.

An option already exists for the Miata since we wear these out with regularity in Spec Miata. The FD alignment cams are the same design as the Miata's and suffer from the same problem where the threads on the bolt and nut stretch and the placement washers wear out so that you can't get and retain an accurate alignment.

Starting this thread to check and see if others are interested. These would be particularly useful to people that track their cars, autox but would be a one time replacement option for street driven garage queens as well.

Post up if interested. Thanks.



Here is the Miata version:

Don't track my car but my bolts are high mileage and I will be doing a complete suspension overhaul so this would be great!

^some sort of steel

I need to send a front and rear bolt and washer to them. I have an extra front. Anyone have a rear that they can donate to the cause?

Thanks.
