The original results are (with car unladen): Nearside 2' pos camber. 0.3' toe in Offside 0' camber. 0.3' toe in I have now moved the shims around so each side has 2 shims per lower wishbone. A quick measure suggests both sides are equal with 0' camber, but I haven't driven it yet so will retorque the bolts and try it out before reporting back.

Hi Guys, Having never actually set up with any accuracy, the front (or rear) wheels of my Mk1V Spitfire in the 16 years I've had it, I thought I'd check it over as it does look odd side to side. It is currently not showing any uneven tyre wear or odd traits, so it will be interesting to see what it is set to, one side has wishbone shims, one has none. Armed with levels, plumbob, a 'Trakrite' & a fairly average garage floor to work from, I'm wondering what sort of settings I should be looking for. Straight out of the manual or do modern tyres need different settings? Car is a 1973 Spitfire, standard with 155 Avons. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, Thought I'd introduce myself as I have not been on this forum for many years. I've owned my Spitfire since 2002, bought off a friend for £150. It wasn't a total wreck as it had been off the road since 1991 so really wasn't too bad. I did a total body off job at the time as parts were cheap & easily available then. After being off the road for the last couple of years for various reasons, it's back again with all the best bits I have collected over the years. It's a 1300 SC with Mk111 cam, HS6 carb, straight thro' exhaust, alloy bellhousing & 3 rail O/D box. 250 miles on & it's going really well. Attached should be a pic of it on our way back from Shelsley Walsh last weekend.
