        I still need a good days work to get it 100% but you get the idea

        That looks similar to the set up that Evert used on his racecar



        I think short term I'm going to pay to get it done, in the mean time I'll try and make something like this and I'll take some measurements off the car when I know it's set right, then I'll know what to set it back to.

          Stringing it up is all well and good but the main issue as I see it is adjusting it all - you need to support the car on its wheels high enough to get under it to access the adjusters. Plus you need to be able to roll it back and forth slightly after adjusting it, to settle it all down, before you check the measurements again. Maybe I have missed something but it seems next to impossible to do at home unless you have a pit?

            Or your car is on uni balls and no standard parts left

            I brought some treated marine ply to go under the wheels to lift the car aprox 100mm off the floor

              So you still need a skinny midget to do the adjustments for you then mate?
