<VV> Fw: Front Wheel Camber - Lack of Response

[Harry Yarnell]

Fred Johnson wrote a treatise on front end alignment for the Corvair owner, 
and I believe Clark sells it. Great piece. He even gives you the drawings 
and specs to make homemade caster and camber jigs. I've made them out of 
1/8" aluminum, and they work great. Toe is set with a 6' jig I think I 
bought from Eastwood (?). It involves crawling around on the garage floor, 
and I'm getting abit creaky to do that now.
I'll sell the camber gauges I have; one for early and one for lates, for $10 
ea. if anybody's interested.
