If you cranked down on the center nut you could get the plate to bend enough to measure 1 degree of negative camber at each wheel. If I did not do this the front foams would cone much worst than usual. Tony Neisinger showed me this at a club race explaining,,, "you have to make it smile."

Re: where are all the Bolinks?
Does anyone know why Bolink doesn't produce an Eliminator anymore? And when and why they discontinued them in the first place? I see they have a car on their site which looks to be old technology repro'd from an older version. Not 100% on that though.
I lived in Atlanta for a while and visited the factory when I had my Elim 10 & 12. I recall how nice they were to offer me a tour and show me around the facilities. I appreciated my Bolinks 100% more after that.

Re: where are all the Bolinks?
I think it's because the market has changed. Pan cars were huge and pretty much the only type of on-road racing....until the touring cars hit hard in the early-mid 90s. In addition, it takes a lot of R&D to keep up with companies like associated, trinity etc. Oh, and don't forget about money and effort it takes to sponsor "big name" drivers.JPAE07 wrote:Does anyone know why Bolink doesn't produce an Eliminator anymore?

After the release of the digger, they probably saw that there was a market for the "simple" cars. This shift wasn't too bad for the company since they pretty much own the legend class.
