How does the camber adjustment work on a ZOO rear beam??
I'm fed up with only using half of my rear tyres and need some adjustability at the rear of my cossie.
I quite fancy one of these ZOO motorsport rear beams which should solve the problem but......
I've had a look at the pictures in the "traders stuff for sale" forum and i can't figure out where the camber adjustability comes from?
Is it by raising the inner mount up and down?
Can anybody explain it for me?

Just elongate it craign so that you can mount the bolt in a slightly different place.
Ive had to do this on other cars before, quite common practice, although technically a bit of a bodge to some people it actually works very well.

I didn't think it was rocket science 
slot the hole on the vertical plane thats up to you lot lol on the inner semi trailing arm mounting hole .Once you have slotted it it will be obvious that you can only slot it so far .Bolt it back together tighten the inner bolt as far up the slot as it will go
If you don't fancy doing diy we charged Ł60 +vat for this in 1985 that included the camber set up .Still charge the same today for this DFY service.We charge double if you try and help.
DFY = done for you

The ZOO beam is fully rose jointed so the adjustment is there.
Also, the inner pick up point for the trailing arm is taken further out, so you have the arm moving in a perfect horizontal plane:
Couple of pics:
Rose joints:
Full beam - note the position of the inner pick up:

your wrong pon it dont move in a direct up and down plane
slotting holes is fine but you still wont get awy from the horible toe in camber angle the standard pick up points give you
a zoo beam will ajust up to 3 degrees of camber from zero to neg 3
and comes with new poly bushes powder coated,road beam Ł650 or strapped Ł750 and tubulair rear(coil overs only) Ł950
also can be fitted and set up for Ł150
