I saw these in my local "cheap'o store" and couldn't resist them.
Reduced from £10 to £3.99 each, so a pair for £7.98

If they were stuck to a suitable lenth of wood or box section and elastic banded
to the wheel rims, they could be a good way of measuring toe in/out, and camber,
for both the front and rear wheels. Bump steer as well.

Better than string, err, maybe?


What do you think?

WOW!!

Cheap as chips mate!!

ill tell you something youve got a good one there

There what I used to use to align my go kart wheels before relying on them to fly round a bend at 70mph+

never did me any harm(as in all professional go karters use them to!)

Jeez I wonder if all these pointer things that a million kids bought in Ibiza could be used for the same thing.
Wish I'd let mines buy a couple now. (Note to self don't be such a party pooper in future)

the cheaper pen pointer things have a bit of an inbuilt problem
the laser assembly isnt glued in accuratly to the pen body, so would need mounting somehow to get an accurate datum

i wanted to use one for laser sighting, but was a mile out

Oh well thats ok then I'm glad I'm aparty pooper and saved my hard earned.

asda where selling those laser line thingies,less than a tenner each i think

I used one of those very cheap laser pointers held onto my front stub axel with a hair elastic to measure bump steer on my front end which worked a treat . it ddi not matter that it was not that precise as long as it was not moving in relation to the upright. any way most usefull little toy .

Just got me one of these in the local Spar shop! (the one attached to the garage in Capel St Mary, for those nearby). Also £3.99.

Opened it up, took out the little plastic prism and now I have a bright laser pointer in a convenient package.

Might get me another one!

Got one of these too - cheap with any fuel purchase. They are great for producing a straight line but difficult to make sure the line is level.
