I'm doing some plotting when I get a few moments to create a template which will be correct.

Its important given the role of the Camber/Castor gauge that I spend a few hours to get the geometry correct.
There's a little bit of trig, but its not too bad :)

Yeah I can have a few stickers made up. You're right, the logo is a pretty inspired piece of artwork :)
I've certainly seen worse artwork on a website...

I'll see what I can do. I'm not a fan of big square stickers. I'll see if something tricky can be done.

Hi Mick
Did anything eventuate for the Camber/Caster gauge.
I'd happily buy from Ausmini in preference to other places.
Minispares TOOL10 is now $145 plus postage :shock:

Regards
Phil

I haven't looked at this in ages. I did some work with it and then got lost with the issue of having it printed onto alloy and then the individual calibration.

Life got really busy with work and I haven't looked at it again yet!

I printed it off and it fits pretty well on an A4 page. I laminated and glued it to a piece of metal. Used fishing line and a sinker as the bob weight. Just need to make sure the left vertical straight edge is parallel with the centre line of the camber markings. It fits 10" rims ok.
I have also made up 2 other different styles to confirm the measurements.

P.S. Mick - You might need to add "camber gauge" to this title.

Which image did you print out as the one I looked at in the thread was a little distorted (but maybe it is good enough).

Thats the one. Its not a perfect image but it worked ok. Don't use the top and bottom as a reference. The plumb bob wire just needs to be vertical using the left edge and a spirit level.

Mick and his 3D printer could make up ausmini Hopkirk style accelerator pedals. They'd be fine in plastic right?

Ha ha. Your choice of colours. I have black, white, yellow, red, green and glow in the dark. :)

Glow in the dark would be the go.
