His method is a bit rustic and probably not 100% accurate.
This is the one I used and I'm sure is 99.9% accurate. Accurate DIY tracking
BTW the best line to use is the flourescent type as it's easier to see so you won't trip over it with your size 12s and then need to
re-check all the settings.
My local tackle shop proudly announced that he supplies the line to a well-known racing car manufacturer in Woking so if the line and method are good
enough for them I'll go with that. Perhaps James can confirm?
Just be aware you need to be very methodical and it's certainly not a job to rush but once you've got your head around it it's
pretty straightfoward.
The best way of measuring is to use a set of vernier calipers which are very accurate.
HTH. Cheers, Pewe

Nice simple guide, its how we do our race caterham we just have made some brackets that bolt onto the vehicle front and rear to hold the line so no
need for concrete blocks.
it compares well to the laser rig at a friends garage.
Flat floor will make it even more accurate, which is what the second guide describes.
Not sure I like the golfs rear toe out, bet it turns in nice and quickly though...
