   The thing is that I don't think the bumper *above* the axle does 
anything for camber compensation.  The is the bumper that will act as an 
overload spring.  The car has sagged an inch in the last 37 years, so 
the upper bumper is a half inch closer to overload engagement.  That is 
another reason I added the extra bumper *underneath*.  This makes up for 
lower car, and gets the camber compensation sooner.    It all makes 
sense to me, but this is opposite what Bill Fisher suggests (maybe I'm 
taking his diagram on pg. 146 to literally?).  
   Do Type 3 K.G.'s have the z-bar?  I suspect Steven A. would have 
tweaked with his by now...
