RE: [MarcosManiacs] '69 V6 - correct toe-in ?

2008-05-10 by Lotus fan

Thanks,

As I said earlier; I did adjust the toe in a bit, ‘by feeling’, and got a much better driving experience.

Tomorrow (Sunday) is the annual Norwegian Sports Car Club Spring Gathering, I have app 35 km drive to where it is being arranged. This will be my longest drive with the car after my manually adjustment… 

 

I’ll take your figures to an alignment garage later on, and hopefully get a correct setup for “quick street driving”

Bjorn,

I took the car to have it aligned yesterday, and had a print out of the numbers.

My toe  is .20 Degrees each wheel (.40 total) (.28 to .55 is the total tol.).

The caster is 4.7 left wheel nd 5.4 right wheel on my car. 

 My camber is out of spec. I hve to either get new springs or add more shim under the origional springs. 1.8d to 3.8d is the tol.
The tollerance specs are the same as the Triumph GT6. All are positive numbers.

 

Larry

Larry, here,

This is the factory spec on my '70 3l Volvo powered Marcos.
