I've had a problem with my front tyres wearing drastically on the inside edges so went for a check. Local tyre centre recommended Thistlethwaites in Bolton so had a 'geometry' check done there. I was told the camber was not adjustable and my tracking was slightly out. I'm now in possesion of a computer printout which has a few 'bold' figures indicating 'out of specification' numbers.
I've since gathered that most of these 'are' actually adjustable so can anyone reccommend someone who actually knows what they are doing on the geometry setup of a TVR?

In case anyone's interested, here's the figures:

Left Front--------------------ANGLE--------------------Right Front
-0.17------------------------CAMBER-------------------1.29
3*9'-------------------------CASTER-------------------3*05'
0*02'------------------------TOE-----------------------0*02'
0*04'------------------------SET BACK-----------------------
9*43'------------------------INC. ANGLE----------------7*43'
10*01'-----------------------SAI-----------------------9*12'
-----------------------------TOTAL FRONT TOE---------0*04'

Left Rear--------------------ANGLE---------------------Right Rear
-2*37'----------------------CAMBER--------------------2*21'
0*13'------------------------TOE-----------------------0*17'
-----------------------------TOTAL REAR TOE-----------0*30'
0*02'------------------------THRUST LINE--------------------

I have heard of some good reports from SFR engineering in Stockport, they are TVR
specialists, so should know the proper setup.
Their web site is www.sfrengineering.co.uk
Tel 0161 480 0101.
I think the guys name is Shane.
Hope they are some help for you,
Cheers,
Paul.
