Made a new hingepin brace just now. Real ugly, but it proves that this will work. Lower hingepin fully clears the bulkhead, so no trimming or grinding needed.

Even though I do not have a turnbuckle that will work I have rigged something up to give me the correct length for the upper arm.

Sitting with the lower arm dropped, so normal ride height I move the arm thru its travel and the longer upper arm is not changing the camber much at all. Camber may change 1/4 deg thru the travel, so we are all good with this.

I have a feeling I know why. When I figured it was going to be a problem I thought the pin spacing on the bulk was the same as the c hub. Turns out the ch pin spacing is more than the bulkhead, so it negates the effect of the upper arm getting longer than the lower arm as the arms move thru their respective motions.

End result: I have something that works. Properly.

I will make another pin brace tomorrow and clean this one up. Then I will take pics.
