SEAC pages say;

SEAC's set at 20 mins total toe in at front, 1.2 degrees neg camber all round, sorry can't remember caster angle.

PH search, Steve Heath bible search all come up zero.

Does anyone happen to have the original factory setting for these cars?

BTW, from other published dats not all wedges are the same.

PS. Out of circa 500 cars including 50 TVR's I mine was the only wedge at Goodwood for the Sunday breakfast. What's the matter with you lot 2.

Do any of the SEAC owners here have this data around?

Was there ever a handbook for the SEAC?

All that came with my beastie was a stock wedge owners manual plus a copy of the the wedge bible.

I need this info to get my car alighned correctly.

Tnx

Its 3.5 =-0.5 but it isn't that critical as the SEAC rose jointing screws up the castor angle as the wishbones move up and down anyway.
