I've had a little bit of an OFF recently on my Book chassis locost and need to at least measure and probably replace the front top and bottom wishbones brackets on the chassis, hopefully passengers side only but want to meaure the drivers side as well.
All i can see in the Second edition book i have on this is on page 63 that only gives the end on measurements and on page 117 shows the castor as 5.30 deg, but i seem to recall from when i made the chassis about 4/5 years ago that the castor was meant to be 7 deg and there was diagrams available using threaded bars holding the wishbones showing side on measurements for the locations of the brackets in relation to the end of the chassis.
I have a look through all the paperwork and notes i have from that time and cannot located any additional information on this and thought i would ask if anyone knows more than i can see in the book or have i missed it ?
