- DON - on my +8 I have decambered the front to 0 degrees. This was done on the recommendation of a Morgan racing specialist in the UK (MacDonald if I recall - I bought the lower plates and other bits

- DON - I have not heard of any breakage of 4/4 spindles but I have heard tales of bending them. If you do not want to use +8 spindles then I would use competition/HD +4 spindles. I am assuming they ar
