That looks to be a camber kit for either an "L" series an "MY" or a brumby.

Nice find

the answers get more detailed as the night goes on :)

Yep, Kevin is still goin' - moved again , says he's been making these camber kits for MY MV and L Series for thirty years.

I have no idea how my first set of Roadstones wore so flippin' even, then the next few sets wear on outer edge :( so, gonna swap favours and get a boiler makerto mig these babies on a spare MY cross member - may as well do the turbo up pipe mod at same time .....

the simple looking washer you see there is actually a double washer, with serations both sides for grip and has Nordlock stamped on them.

The idea is...if you have wear on outer edges of tyres need less camber, fit these up with slots horizontal and lower control arm bolt centre to the inside end of slot leaving the slot to show to the outer..weld on, grind, burn, mill or in my case - probably file out or between extra holes drilled to make slot in xmem and wohoo, more traction !!

still make them? look like a good idea...

You'd have to make those slots neat though, so it still clamped the bush center properly...

either still make, or stil stocked, mine was a real dusty package. The instructions that come with them say to do the thing up prior to welding. keeping it all tight keeps it all centred (in theory).

I had to grind off some lip of the cross member to make it fit flush, have tack welded and got one in nice, the other needs correction to the bolt slides in and out easily. The channels are a tight fit on the washers, and finding the washers are not the perfect round as required, causing the washers to bind in the channels as they are turned in the axis? of the channel plates bolt holes. The channel plates are pretty precision engineered, not so the washers .....
