IRS aftermarket pivot brackets question

[GreenMeanie]

I built my jig off the super beetle today and it has two Washers on it for camber adjustment.

I went to put it on my new Brackets to test and the bolt sticks to far out with the washers on?
I then read the pacificcustoms article on their procedure for doing this and they have no washers on theirs? How do they adjust for camber without washers? And should I leave the washers out?
Almost wishing I just cut out the super beetles brackets instead because they look stronger and allow for the washers but I wanted to keep that rear end around for measurements.

The inner part of the pivot bracket should be in the same place as the originals. Getting the pivot box in the right place will mean you should be able to get the toe in correct using the slots in the spring plate to move the arm back or forwards as required. The washers go under the head of the pivot bolt and do not adjust camber. I think you could get away with one washer if needed. You can adjust camber by the amount of lowering and the angle relationship between the spring plate and the arm. Or you can get eccentric pivot bolts so you can move the pivot point up or down, forward or back to get further camber changes.

OOPPS I meant Toe In? It was a long day yesterday when I posted LOL.

i know what you mean about the socket bolt sticking out of the aftermarket brackets, but its not a problem other than the look of it, i drill and lock wire these for racing and the protrusion can help with this, the washers are in fact used for toe differences in production tolerances, the w/s manuals show this alternative fitment as one inside and one outside, never two together inside, the bush needs one washer to be always on the outside, but in most cases on stockers they are both fitted under the bolt head, that's millions of cars, so the tolerances were pretty tightly controlled lol.
