Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Finally got my mag Had a quick flick through and saw Tricky Dickie's tracking Gauge thought great I'm having one of them cost 1 length of Spur upright, lying under my bench at work, zilch. 2 Spur brackets, lying under my bench at work, zilch. odds and sods of nuts and bolts lying about my garage at home, zilch. Nice one Richard Just one thing troubling me Why didnt I think of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickieB Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Ah, well. You see I'm 6 months through a Masters Degree in Technology - education does work (combined with being a skint student) Dickie B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 (combined with being a skint student) Like you expect me to believe that John M was last seen delayed in Basel moaning about some rumblings in Prague C'mon Mr B - who's was the tracking gauge idea - yours or sirs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Woolf Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Got to admit was impressed with the track guage Just trying to work out how to build a four wheel alignment jig from the same stuff C`mon you know it makes sense, figure if you can find the centre of the car front and rear you wouldn`t be too far off Won`t mention adding some plumb lines for camber just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfieldman Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 It rearly needs a little more development so it clamps to the chassie and works from the center line of the car or the wheels maybe parallel to each other but the chassie could be at an angle to the wheels [crabing] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
