Decided it was just a Mini and not a F1 car so set up the tracking using 2 bits of wood and a tape measure. Good old fashioned engineering .

 

For all the non-believers!

I can see how that works for the toe. How do you do the camber?

 

It doesn't but the camber looks fine anyway - my control arms are not adjustable - the toe was way out and you could tell from the steering - now feels planted again.

Be rude not to get the minis out on a day like today. Both ran faultlessly.

Today I have been changing the rear brakes - don't think they have been touched for some time but were in better condition than expected!

 

Managed to change the near side without breaking anything.

Any use keeping the old brakes - would anyone want them or just bin them?

Hi,

 

Yesterday took the Moop on a 50 mile run around Surrey and while on the A25 saw many vintage/veteran cars heading west near Abinger Hammer so assume there was local club meeting.

During the trip saw two classic Minis one (a Burgundy colour) parked on somebody's drive and a black 1275 heading in the opposite direction (west) on the A25 near Wotton. Was it you?
