    I’ve just purchased a s7 with grove gear I’ve taken a measurement and my left wheel has a 5degree negative camber and a 3 degree negative on the right I’ve found the shims for sale but how do you know if you need the 500+5 or the 600+6 shims
    sorry if it’s a stupid question I’m new to all of this
    cheers nick

    Click on the Grove banner above ( sponsors ). Find the Axel tab and click. You will find a pic of the shim. Look below that and you will find the link to the shim bolt pattern document. Sorry, if I were more savy than I am, I could have attached it.....

    The 2 basic Grove landing gears for Kitfox Models 3 & 4 and Series 5,6 & 7 have a type 1 axle bolt hole pattern, which is the square pattern (opposed to the type 2 pattern, which is rectangular).
