Not as such but works very similar by circulating dry fresh air round the tent.

Hi mate...just go on eBay and type in sierra camber shims and you will see them... You dont need longer bolts... It's a guy round my way that makes them.

Where they said if I blasted them in there cabinet they would throw them in with other black stuff free of charge... So I blasted them and they turned out great....so tomorrow I'm going to get exhaust picked up in a van and off to Craig @ distinctive detail so me and him can crack on polishing it... Hopefully with this kit..vvvvv

Red spring's would of added a bit of colour but probably look more standard as is

you could touch the bolt's up with a paint brush when you get it home

Great looking car

as much as id like to agree with you mate, ive gotta disagree unfortunatey if you become too anal you will never drive these cars,, i think sometimes it just adds a little bit of character to them not seeing absolutely everything mint...

just imagine how shitty its going to look in about a months time mat rofl you will be forever under it, touching bits up, its a vicious circle pal

Are the camber shims like Mr Rainbird does/did, just a bit thicker? What do they actually do an how do they fit? From memory, don't they with 2of the 4 hub bolts? I got a set from a mate, via r&b years ago, can't remember if I ever fitted them....?!

Looking good Mat. Can't imagine how you stop with something like this though it must be a nightmare, you replace or clean one thing up and whatever it's attached to or next to needs doing too.
