: : There has been some discussion on this board regarding methods of front wheel alignment. I put some original info out for viewing. I may add more later but for now take a look. Click on the link below.

: G'Day Marco,
:My apologies all, I stand corrected. I can see from the service bulletins that the measurement was in fact taken about 6" from the ground. It would be interesting to know once the alignment has been set this way, what the measurement would be when checked on a modern machine which measures at points in line with the sub axle. I'm gonna have to get me them bulletins.

Befor I "got smart" from reading all the excellent technical information on this site and other material, I took my 31' Roadster to a front end shop for an alignment check.The old timer there had real time experience on these cars.Although he did not do the actual alignment, he gave careful and specific directions to the younger set doing the work.They first jacked up the front of the car and while spinning the tires, sprayed white paint on the center area of the tread.Then with a stationary scribe on the floor, made a very fine line in the center of each tire.With the car back on the floor, a rod with a pointer on one end and a scale on the other on stands about 6" high, was then used to obtain the correct toe-in.I have since duplicated this process on several cars and have had excellent results.
