hiya
thought I'd post this in case there was any interest, I've done a "step by step"
instructable which is at www.instuctables.com , search for user petercd....or click
Here
I've also dumped sum pics in my photo archive in the camber gauge folder
enjoy

attached the Sketchup file, seems to be all the rage at the moment
cool, what a good idea.

Looks good - how can you measure degrees of camber though?

and the first prize goes to DarrenW
quite correct, the wheel must be level(actually all 4 wheels) and the gauge zeroed in the middle position.
Im using a 6M1.0 pitch at a distance of 57.29mm from the pivot point, and that provides 1 degree per rotation of the screw.
I divided it into 10 to give a .1 degree resolution for ease of use
I went into finer detail of its use on the instructable website but decided to spare this forum a lengthy grind.
Rick Dormoi at Toyheadauto
has an instruction in pdf form which explains the basic operation of the gauge i.r.o. caster and camber

At a guess id say you have to set it vertical before using, attach to roadwheel and turn the knob till the bubble lines up. Screw has 10 divisions. Thread will probs be 1.0mm pitch. Distance between screw and pivot point will probs give something like 1 deg for every full rev.
As long as screw is in middle when you start you can adjust for +ve or -ve camber.
thanks for the positve comments
if I may let me add some clarity here, when I said
