Doing temporary tats at the stockton priate festival on saturday or would have been there loads of Stuff I am looking for

Never been there but sounds like fun :D
Just had a nice rebate through so may treat myself to some suspension bits (if they sell that kind of stuff there?)
Also on the look out for 2.0 blacktop.
What can I expect from the jumble? Is it new stalls or people selling crap from vans?

Hi Neil ....the Rufforth autojumble has a plethora of autojumble bits ranging from loads of bike parts to aluminium/steel/bar sheet, led lights, trailor bits... masses of tools of every description....body stuff like upol, thinners, paint. uphostelry, carpet, more tools,and then some more tools on that, welding gasses, tyres, loads of stainless steel fasteners and ordinary nuts and bolts, it really is that massive ...need to get there for 8.30 - 8.45 as it is all over by 12.00 mid day but it does take a couple of hours to get around it all before they all start packing up..

David,4 wheel alignment is a bit of an expensive con if the rear is not easily adjustable.

I was more concerned my rear wheels may point in different directions. I'm thinking of getting my dental floss out to use the string method.

My rear suspension has threaded adjusters on the inboard bushes at each point.

You could drop check it with some chalked string by putting it on stands and picking the same points on the chassis at each side and corners etc with a plumb line and go from point to point with the string and "twang " it to put chalk lines down on the floor,this will give you an idea of what is where in relation to all the other bits.

I just assume the chassis is square to within a mm (which I know it is), clamp a long spirit level to the spindle with the wheel and brake drum removed and measure the distance between the level and the chassis at two points. Then simple a conversion from radians to degrees. 0.5° toe in means 5 mm difference at the distance of 600 mm. Any higher precision is unnecessary.
