Has anyone with a fixed rear beam used anyform of shim etc to adjust this.

 

Not personally but all Clio Cup race cars use them to adjust rear camber and toe. Renault supply a range of tapered shims for camber and for toe which you fit between the stub axle and beam.

 

Would you have a link to the kit by chance, so i can see what set up it is.

 

its a simililar set up to the fiesta
4 bolts thru the back plate onto beam axel type thing
i've never done it myself but i've seen track cars shimmed this way before
seems to work well, tried and tested, good cheap handling mod

 

Luke buy a racing puma 10mm hub spacer and get it machined to have what ever amount of degree negative you want on the face. Not only will you get extra track at the rear (if you want it) its an easy option to use.

 

Clio cup cars run exactly the same thing.. Shall make a template this weekend and then have some made next week.

Just need to find out what the shims should taper too to acheive the desired camber angle.

 

not sure whats on the rear of yours but there is a guy on the pug forums who re drills the rear beam to what ever camber you want

its a little expensive but highly effective

the pug isnt as east as putting some shims on

 

Spiky

Its easy for the 205.....Fit 306 rear arms mate, give a good amount of rear camber

Top tip from AB Motorsport....and they know a fair bit

 

From what I can remember last time the rear beam was bare there flat on the fiesta.

The clio cup cars run these shims


Which look how imimaging the Fiesta rear beam face to be, just with the correct bolt pattern.

Like to get / borrow a set to determine the angles /thickness

 

What camber angle do you want? best way would be to measure the camber as it is now, then for the shim measure the distance between the bolts and with a bit of trignometry work out how much the thickness needs to change top to bottom.

Probably good to have a few different tapers made, you might well find the beam could be slightly different side to side if its had a hard life, plus then you can play about with different amounts.

New Clio cups ones are a slightly different shape, more rectangular so they may even fit turned on their side.
