Hi all,

It's very hard to find a place that does wheel alignments for a 10" wheel-clad Mini. All the new machines seem to do minimum 12".

Anyone have any names I could try?

Otherwise I was thinking of borrowing some 12s for the alignment. (In which case...anyone have an 12" wheels with tyres O can borrow lol)

No luck with Simpsons? I did have mine done before they moved premises though.

Yeah thanks for the tip but no joy, man. Same as the other places - 'sorry, the new machine only does down to 12s'.

I could always go the measuring tape, protractor, string line, spirit level and try to figure it out myself. But I was hoping to drop it off and have it dealt with for me by someone who actually knows what they're doing, especially the first time it's setup.

If I'm carrying on like a pork-chop, I'm having a great time.

If I go very quiet there's a very good chance I broke something.

There's a six-pack in it for you if you send me the name in the next week of a place who will do it in Newy!

(and no I'm not joking!)

I've booked mine in tomorrow at a nearby Pedders Suspension workshop. Looks like they have a branch in Newcastle. They are charging me $88. I will let you know how it goes.

Alignment done today. Made such a difference to the clubby' handling. Very pleased with Pedders; were very thorough. Took about an hour to do.

Cheers
