jfmassey Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I have just bought a Supersport that has been set up for track days. The camber is obviously wrong for road use as the wheels look like they are splayed out and only two thirds of the tyre surface is in contact with the road. Can someone help me with any settings for the tracking and if there are any for the camber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 JFM, Welcome too blatchat. Must be something in the air. You're the second firts time poster this weekend. The setup can be a bit fiddly. If you email me, I'll email back a copy of the build manual. norman@frenchblat.com Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Reg: B16BDR, Mem No 2166, the full story here You and your seven toThe French Blatting Company Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normans_Ghost Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Tim, probably better than the one I've got. I'll have a poodle and find the price. Hang on....... right found it. £39.58 but not too bad. Actually there's an explanation about 2 lengths of fine wire/string and two poles somewhere here. I'll have a search.
