Default cosworth rear beams..?

ive seen on here before someone metioned a mod made the trailing arm mounts on the beam where the mounting hole was made bigger and a washer welded in a different place to make an adjustment to the rear wheels.. from the group N manual but ive had a look and cant find it.. just wondered if anyone had any info on this out of interest... many thanks...

Page 8 of the rear suspension section.

"When building up the rear suspension check the tracking, which should be 3mm toe-in. If required slot the inner joint mounting holes to acheive the correct figure and weld reinforcing washers in correct location "

ok thanks i think this manual thing i got off ebay isnt a lot of good then as it does not seem to have that part in... .. would this put any extra strain on the outer bush of the arm or is the amount of movement so small not to notice... what effect will this adjustment have on the car..? also where could i get a proper manua to read up on these ... thanks for the help..

All this 'mod' does is set the toe angle to a Ford Motorsport recommended setting it dosn't make it adjustable.

I have emailed you part of the manual
