Dedion ear identification

[Englishmaninwales]

Being lazy and to save me measuring them 😳 my dedion ears are marked with a ' 7' so what degree camber are they?

 

Thanks

Malcolm,

I have one in front of me that has a 7 stamped on it, that measures at 0.8°.

 

The ones on my car are not marked, but measure at the specified 1.5°.

 

If I were you, I'd measure them and do the maths.

 

(or post on here and let someone else do the maths!!)

Malcolm,

I've found some notes from when I measured your car.

Your rear camber measured at -1.25°.

I've found that cars that have the later nominal -1.5° ears measure more like -1.75°.

Sorry Will, we relocated to Stafford over the christmas break - needed a bit more space, and wanted to spend less time on the road travelling to circuits.
