Hi Spannerman
Just to follow up Malcolm’s question regarding chassis level. If my calculations are correct lowering the rear of the car by about 1 1/2” provides 1 degree of castor.
I recently installed a flat front spring and bowed axle for road use but kept the Chummy springs at the back. Measuring the before and after castor showed a 3 degree loss. I’ve now got some flatter rear springs on order!
Cheers
Howard
