Hi Steve, please allow me a question which has nothing to do with the car... But since a long time, I'm desperately looking to buy jeans trousers like the one you're wearing in the video. I used to buy them in Deinze before, but the store is no longer there, and I can't find them anywhere. May I ask where you buy yours ? Thanks in advance and greetings. Ralph

Ralph, I have no idea where they come from... my girlfriend buys them for me

Why don't you do it yourself its EASY. ALL YOU NEED IS A BOX CUTTER SLICE THE MATERIAL,AND THEN TAKE A NEEDLE AND PICK OUT THE THREADS USE SCISSORS TO CUT THREAD OF,,,, DONE

Hi i think you may have the wrong calculation, should it have been TAN as you have the opposite and adjacent measurements, and using the measurements you have the camber would have 1.5 edeg

[@justaddafan]

Agreed, Tan(theta)=opposite/adjacent The sin is the opposite/hypotinuse

[@D3Sshooter]

Mark Bridgewater hi mark. Its the sin of the opposite leg over the adjacent leg for the corner.

[@D3Sshooter]

Mark Bridgewater that is what i used. If you look close on the dial you will see that its just a bit less then 2 with gauge. But txs

HI , i hope i have got it wrong or your be redoing your shims ;), but the right angle of the triangle is at top left on your video, with the angle your trying to find at the bottom, so you have the measurement (vertical, adjacent ) in the video of 470mm and you have of the (horizontal , opposite ) of 13mm , so there for you need the Tan(theta)=opposite/adjacent or theta = Tan -1 (opposite/adjacent). cheers Mark

hi have a look at the example of the Plane height here www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/trig-finding-angle-right-triangle.html

Hi My brakediscs are used for a number of years. It was almost impossible to get the same value twice with the tool. Maybe it safer with the string method?

Thanks for comments, are you sure that the suspension and bushes , uprights are not having an issue
