Dunlop tracking gauge scale, warning big pics
scutter - 11/12/08 at 08:27 PM

Good evening gents, Does anyone know where I can get a replacement scale for the above gauge?

I've just fired off an email to Dunlop themselves, just after some more suggestions.

I need to replace the damage in these pictures.
Cheers Dan.

Thats why mine live in a custom made box. Have you seen the price of a set these days?

These have been in general use by a club for the past 25years, haven't been touched for 5, you should have seen the dust when i brought them down off the top of the cupboard

And yes, which i'm trying to fix these, there's no money for replacements.

Hi Dan I have the same tracking guages as those the scale is in good condition on mine if you get stuck you are very welcome to make a copy off mine also that way it wont cost you anything

Trev, your a star. would it be too much trouble to scan it for me? next to a steel rule so i can scale the image would be ideal. If not it'll be a good trip up sunny northampton

Binocular or Camera shop? or Ebay? Jessops? Just need the correct daimeter, or some gaffer tape to secure.

Just my 2d's worth.

Without the rubber pad you can't catch the apprentice out with the black eye practical joke although it's still possible to use the gauges.

Hi Dan the scanned image is in my photo archive number 10001 what you could do with the remainder of the scale that you have is if you put both tracking guages together look through the viewfinder and align the arrow perfectly that will then give you the zero position on your scale. Then you could trap the scale under the bar where it should originally be fitted then your gauges will be calibrated and ready to use. Hope this is of some help

regards Trev

Trev, Many Thanks.

Sorry to resurrect an old post, but at least I used the search function. I have just bought a set of Dunlop AG60 alignment gauges (2 yellow arms that clamp to wheels) there should be an elastic cord that goes between the arms which has perished. I can't find anywhere that sells then & cannot seem to find a number for Dunlop, I don't suppose you still have the number?
