That's how they are done on the touring cars also. Has the added benefit of allowing you to adjust toe settings from the large thread into the track rods rather than on the rose joint. Never noticed that my track rods had been shortened though but you've got me wondering now! ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

I've not forgotten about your rods either buddy, been waiting on someone to get me a quote. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

My track rods are standard length, not shortened but the adjuster piece is much shorter than yours. The rose joint is uses is pretty small as well! Think I've found someone here to do my rods but let us know anyway in case it falls through!

The adjusters I pictured are for a widetrack 306 hence them being huge! Just used the pic as an example. I'll let you know about the rods tomorrow buddy  ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

I'm guessing you mean the length? It gives 30mm of correction although it's obviously longer than that to take into account the size difference between a standard TRE and the rose joint ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

I think we're thinking the same but write different. The spacer is 30 mm in length above the hub and that makes the rod about 45 mm below the hub.Correct?  ________________________________________ Peugeot 306 Dimma Coupe N/A -95 |

Not sure what's above the hub? Do you mean above the bottom ball joint? This is a 406 hub and the spacer is slightly shorter but it gives you an idea  ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Ive not been rushing as there's very little interest in them but I'd like to do them anyway. I've now got a 306 in my possession so once I find some time I will get the gauges on it and see about producing a generic kit. I'll post up as soon as there's any progress. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

After roll center kit also. Is that what you call them ie spacers for lowered cars to adjust wishbones back.to a reasonable angle. mine may not need them as mine is a V6 and although lowered (not sure by how much as done by previous owner) my subframe is also lowered for the conversion so surely this would bring the angle of the wishbones back to a normal angle?

Lowering the subframe will make things worse, you've moved the pivots down so it acts like it's been lowered even more. You really want to look at moving it back up.There's no simple bolt on method of sorting the roll centre, you end up needing custom wishbones/shafts etc like the satchell kit so it gets very expensive. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Chop bits out where it doesn't clear!? Obviously it needs strengthening in the necessary places where material is removed. Lowering the subframe is a terrible idea IMO ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

subframe is lowered a little in a 205 conversion too, the CV joints pass right over the front wishbone bush mounting point, there isn't any way around it other than mounting the engine higher in the engine bay, which isn't possible as its not a short engine.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

The 205 v6 I've seen didn't have a lowered subframe. Perhaps the engine was slightly higher or tilted? Maybe even different cv inner? Calibra, how much is it lowered? ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |
