Any reason not to go for the fully adjustable ones?

They're not much more than fixed ones and I'm assuming that geometry could be a bit out on an old (1962) car...

Looking at it, for a road car maybe the camber adjustable ones with shims for the caster might be the best option.

I wouldn't fancy the ones with adjustable toe adjusting themselves whilst driving however unlikely so I'd say shims for toe adjustment.

Kad adjustable camber brackets are excellent

it really depends on what you need to correct.

 

nothing wrong with a file.

I always use a file and/or shims, then weld a large washer on the outside of the fixed brackets to hold the setting.

But I'm 'old school' and do my own tracking, front & rear, with 6 ft long straight lengths of timber, milk crates and a tape measure. Camber I measure with a rectangular board 20" x 24" placed against the tyres vertically and measure with a 6" steel ruler.

Many of the adjustable brackets are quite 'light' and flimsy in construction. They are usually fine in nomal use, but don't stand up to any abuse at all.

 

The Mini Spares EVO bracket does look the business though and while I haven't used them, many who have speak well of them after having had issues with others.

 

The KAD types too, also rate well.

thanks all - I went for the minispares ones - adjustable in camber, toe adjustable through shims.
