Not Ranked
Oops...Caster, not camber! The axle tilts backwards to return to center position easier.
The brackets were mounted with the ears toward the motor. The arms were mounted towards the tire. Brackets were secured toward the inside of the slot with OEM serated nuts, not the ones supplied by Tom Beroth. I needed longer bracket to control arm bolts which I got from local True-Value hardware store. All 4 corners need different shims.
No grinding was necessary, there's just enough clearance for the rear bolthead. No welding was necessary, thankfully, as welding near fiberglass is hazardous to your car.
These upper control arm brackets are quite frankly a godsend. They work as advertized, and then some, (admittedly, a rarity in this business) and make for a trouble free MII based front suspension. It's a shame Ford, or CR didn't think of this. For a hundred bucks, you can't go wrong. As far as I'm concerned these brackets are a MUST for any MII front end car, Street Rod or Cobra.
