Chuck,
Read your bit on the home-fashioned camber guage, and since my trig is a bit weak, I went to excel to re-create the camber angle table you described. Email me if you (anybody) want me to send you the file. It is pretty straightforward. YOu can modify the wheel diameter in column A to suit your car. Column B increases by 1/32 of an inch each line, and column C is the camber angle measured in degrees, with two benchmark figures highlighted.

Now to build your little tool....

I have to disagree with you John. Setting the corner weights on the earlier cars is not a PIA - it's a huge PIA.
Setting corner weights on the later 911's ('77 on?) with adjustable spring plates is only a PIA.

Woa! - Rebirth of a thread that wouldn't die. I wasn't sure if you were referring to me or not Chris - then I checked back and noticed that I wrote that last October. I thought that this thread looked familiar. Oh well -- it still holds true. And I agree with your inflectional change. If you're doing an alignement, let me know. You can borrow my stuff although my corner weight checker has died. Getting a new one is on my to-do list.
