caster blocks...

[93TA]

any possibility of selling left and right side caster blocks seperately? or mixed sets? i.e offer them in packs of 2 right side 20deg blocks, or a pkg of 1 15deg left and 20 deg right? for oval it doesnt really make sense for them to be sold in matching left right pairs. the big one is 20deg blocks, i have a ton of brand new 20 deg left side blocks that i will most likely never use.

How about stamping what they are on them, I try not to get them mixed up in the box, but it happens.

i write on mine w/ a silver sharpie as soon as i pull them out of the pkg. but if u do mix them up, you can put the one u dont know on a long hinge pin along w/ some u do know and figure out what they are. but marking would be nice. even if it were in the form of dots placed in the mold or something... i.e. 1 dot = 15, 2 dots = 20, 3 dots = 25

Just like the dots on the rear toe blocks....that would be nice.

Rob Cutman has a caster block gauge that is the Bomb. He said he got it from a guy that makes them custom. I meet the guy last year, I think, at Coopers. He had a very nice Sprinter with a custom alum cage. I really want one of the gauges myself, very handy for just this thing. If anyone knows What the guys name is, or buisness, Please LMK, Kevin

they sell the caster block guages at newville rc. they have them for custom works and associated blocks.

I have been on CW cars for a while and learned something recently about this. Hold the block with the "bump" facing towards you. If the hole in the bump is on the bottom of center of the bump, that is a 25, if center 20, and if on top, 15.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that is how it is, and no gauge needed. Hope this helps.

Simple Solution, Each Time You Get A New Set, Engrave The Bottom W/ Degree And Side. Ex. 15,20r,20l,25r,25l. The 15's Are Interchangeable From Side To Side, The 20l Would Be A 10 On The Right, The 25l Would Be A 5 On The Right. Hope This All Makes Sense.

A Word On The Sharpie Thing, I Tried It Before And Found 2 Problems, One Anyone Can Easily See What You Are Running(i Dont Care, But Some Are Secretive), Two, When I Cleaned The Cars After Racing, The Denatured Alky, Removed The Writing.
