Hi Elliot, very nice job you've done on your car, can't wait to see it. My Dad ( John Metford ) is always telling me how nice it is.

 

Where do you get the wheel alignment turn plates from? I'm on the lookout for a set..

 

Cheers,

Andrew.

Thank you Andrew , 

I borrowed the setup from a friend , I would like to get my own one day too. 

We used this for the camber castor

similar turntables to these

and the string line setup for the alignment was just home made 

Are you attending the brit and euro car show in March ?
