Tracking & Alignment - Spitfire


Recommended Posts

Rebuilt the front end of the Herald a few months ago, uj from eBay, solid rack mounts, GT6 anti roll bar ( I think ! ) took the rack to bits & cleaned / greased everything, few new wishbone bushes, new track rod ends / gators.

Done the tracking with bits of wood & by eye, then borrowed laser tracking gauges a few days later, it was miles out !

Had to adjust the uj as the indicator cancel thing was in the wrong place, now drives like a dream & handles like a racing car, very impressed with it for a old car, loads of fun on twisty Cornish lanes !

If re-rubbering an original, note that this UJ is required to earth the horn.  The securing wire normally provides this function.

Wouldn't be the first Triumph that I've seen with a long bare wire running down the column from top to bottom, just twisted round to create an earth.
