Castor/camber

2006-08-07 by Don Lattimer

Steve,

I adjust camber with height adjustable shocks.  Castor is what it is.  
The front suspension is GT6/Vitesse which is different from the 
Spitfire.

Rory at Marcos Heritage Spares has a handling kit for the car but I do 
not have it on mine.  You'll hear different views on the kit.  A lot 
depends on what you are going to use the car for, i.e. racing, show, 
etc.

Lots of info is available on the Marcos Enthusiasts Board:
http://p206.ezboard.com/bmarcossportscarenthusiasts perform a search 
or just view the different boards.

Let me know the model and serial # of your car and I'll at it to the 
North American Registry.

Congrats on your purchase!  BTW there is a very active and 
enthusiastic Marcos owner in Ft. HUachuca, AZ.  Where are you located?
