cheers mark,is the 1/2 degree toe in each wheel or combined regards wayne!!

Each wheel

For toe in I used a lazer level pointed at a board 10' in front of the car and a decent spirit level for camber.

As its a BEC corner weights using bathroom scales, you need really level ground for this.

I,m not saying this is correct, my car has rubber bushes inboard. The Westfield site used to have a table of suggested values.

Toe-in should be quoted as the combined angle.

I drew up a plan view of the car in Autocad then set the wheels @ 1/2 degree combined then drew a line from outside edge of wheels,on the car then pulled a length of 60lb braid along the outside edge of wheels centralised them by measurement, then measured the distance from rim to braid(strong fishing line) be interesting to see how close i am when i finally get it set up professionally
