I have discussing with my chassis builder this afternoon about modifying my rear bottom wishbones, fitting rose joints so the toe in/out can be adjusted. The top wishbones were made to be adjustable during their manufacture.
He said that I should use imperial UNF threaded joints rather than metric as they are stronger size for size. This is due to the depth of the thread being less on a UNF bolt than the metric equivalent. Apparently, F1 teams still use imperial rather than metric where strength is an issue for this very reason. I guess it also means that smaller diameter bolts can be used resulting in less weight.
Can anyone confirm this?
