Marina based roadster (1800) - steering geometry

[Doublerat]

Hi

I am just in the process of replacing the track rod ends on my marlin and wonder if anyone can give guidance on settings for toe in and camber

Any help will be much appreciated

Thanks

Phil

Previously dealt with here and there

I believe that all Marina based Roadster Chassis were designed with a 2.5 Deg Castor angle as standard. (Taken from the Marlin Build Manual)

I am not sure where this figure came from as the majority of Marina Saloons through to Itals had a 2.0 Deg Castor angle, Estates and commercials varied. (Taken from several BL workshop manuals from 76 to 81)
It was the very early cars that had 5.0 Deg Castor.

Thanks for the help with this, Steve

My "Marlin Assembly Instructions" don't even touch on the subject and I had completely forgotten about the information you have on K&S

Thanks again
