Anyone know who can do wheel alignment on a TVR Chimaera?

I've tried a few of the obvious choices and non of them list the settings!

Hello john get yourself a copy of the steve heath griffith and chimeara manual its full of helpful stuff , just had a look at mine and it says the factory settings are Front track 20 minutes toe in , front camber1/2degree to 1 degree (ideal is 3/4 ). Rear track 20 minutes toe in rear camber1/2to 1 degree negative (ideal is 3/4). the camber settings should be the same front and rear e.g 3/4 degree for both and not 1/2 for one and 1 degree for the other. as for someone to do it other than hhc i wouldnt have thought it would present too many problems for a good mechanic , hope this helps you . Tom

Hi John
The Bible from Steve Heath can be bought for one of the sites on this link,
www.saveonbooks.co.uk/author-Steve-Heath/book-0953033554/?source=sear
£26.59p is the best price ,A very interesting book even if you do not intend
to do any work on the car yourself.

Hi John sorry for resurrecting this thread but thought it might help.

What makes you think you need the wheel alignment changing ?
I have just changed the front tyres on my car and the was more
Wear on the inside edge, if yours is the same it could be a case
Of they all done that sir !!!! The bible says this can happen if driven
Hard ie track days.... because we wouldn’t drive like that on the road would we.

Hi Phil,

I'm getting uneven wear on the inside of the front offside tyre only, so thought it was worth investigating.

Did you get yours done John?
Mine pulls to the left slightly and the mot is due so i had best get it done sharpish!!!

Had a go at adjusting the steering...the wheel is straight now but it still pulls to the left a little.
