I wanted and adjustable top mount that fitted the original mounting hole becuase i didn't want to cut them, so i designed these, 

 

 

 

A bit of machining time in work,

now the LCA are back to there original place even though the car is pretty low, The RCA's or bump steer bushes have a 25mm offset which also in creases the track on the front, from a couple of quick measurements I have + - 5 degrees of adjustment on the front which should be ok for road and occasional track use.

I don't know why this thread didn't get more love. Kudos on the machine work Atomman! That's an incredible idea for bump steer spacers. Get a wider track and correct some LCA geometry at the same time. Clean idea and install on the upper strut mounts as well.
