Castor and camber - old school piece of kit but effective and simple to use. The instructions were usually stuck to the underside of the lid. It's one of those things that is worth a lot to the right person but until they come along it's a paperweight. I'd be throwing it on ebay with a reserve of £100 and see what the market will go to.

I've got a bunch of RS200 (hundred not thousand) parts including a set of original alloys that I can't get a decent price for. The alloys were only fitted to roadgoing cars, there were less than 200 cars made, the cars are sought after and will fetch £50k plus all day long so you would think an owner might stump up a hundred quid to have a mint spare set of wheels wouldn't you? As soon as they damage a wheel I'd bet they would pay that for an individual wheel but until someone wants one - they are worthless. I'm half debating sticking them on my Focus.

Have you got the turntables as well? Without those the castor and KPI cannot be measured as accurately.
Very nice bit of kit. I have happy memories of using it as a development tool on ADO20 and early Metro. Later we had optical kit, but we used the Dunlop ones to calibrate it!
I googled and found the instructions. Here you go.

Found a new one for sale £472.50, so yours is very valuable - £300 plus? Good selling.

no turntables, cheers for the link to the destructions. just got to decide now whether or not to sell it? one of those things that if i sell it when i need to set something up i'm going to have to pay!!

[A-Cell]

I suppose at around £100 a go to check/set up geometry it is worth keeping

[ANON]

yeah, that's what i'm thinking, plus if i do a few and charge for them

[ibrooks]

If you aren't doing it regularly then a pair of nice thick glossy magazines will replace turntables.

Seriously.

Cut the spines off and then lie them on the floor to drive the car's wheels onto. The wheels will then move quite easily whilst the weight is on the suspension.

Obviously you can do it this way regularly but you find that the local Argos/Screwfix/etc. stores get suspicious when you turn up regularly and walk of with a handful of their free catalogues.
