Subject: Re: Front Axle Wedges?
Hi Folks,
Here is an update on measuring castor angle using the Wixey inclinometer. It seems to be around 5.9 degrees on my 2 Litre. This car handles pretty well and the steering is not heavy. This reading is possibly more reliable than the one I posted for my 16/80. This because because it has the engine out at the moment, so most of the weight is off the springs.
The Wixey unit is so precise that it seems to indicate slightly more castor angle on one side than the other by about 0.2 of a degree!
My 2 Litre is a a high chassis version and the unit sits very conveniently on the spring pads.
