has anyone retro-fitted the rear toe-control links to a VT - II or VX Commodore or Monaro ?

if so, have you used the inner pivots dimensions from the later VX, or from the Omega or from the Lotus Carlton ?

I have this mod planned, just need to pick from the three potential inner pivot points

If you just fit the adjustable trailing arm bushes you can then get full toe and camber adjustment. You wont get camber adjustment with the factory link.

yes please, a photo of the toe-control arm inner mounting bracket would be very much appreciated.

I'm afraid it's a little difficult to get to, adjacent and slightly inboard of the semi-trailing arm inner pivot.

I will try and get the car in the air over the holiday and see what I can do. I will email you when I do.

I've done this to my VX by fitting the rear frame, trailing arms and radius rods from a 2004 Pontiac GTO - no dramas. It's an easy win if you can find a back end from a wrecked Monaro...
