Just to let you all know that I'm trying to arrange a visit for the Cayman Register to Centre Gravity who are a well known alignment business within the Porsche fraternity.
Following their response, I have said that I would like to make the visit during the weekend of 9/10th March largely in hope of some early spring weather, they can cope with up to 20 visitors so please let me know those of you who wish to attend. It will take place on only one of the dates stated and so if you can say which day is possible I will try to please the majority and arrange for the final date. They are situated between Tamworth and Hinckley not far from the M1 and M42 and we would expect to meet up at their premises.
They will need one or two volunteers to offer up their cars for pre-adjustment measurements to be taken but no set up adjustments can be carried out on the day as it does take around 4 to 5 hours.
Also, they would like to know just what register members are interested in concerning alignment, adjustment and the set up process in order that Chris can shape his talk around your interests and questions. For newcomers let me point out that alignment on a Porsche is not simply adjustment to the steering toe in but includes Four Wheel Camber, Toe In and Castor on the front axle plus of course adjustment of the corner weights assessment of joint wear, suspension and far more than I wish to go into here largely because I don't know it all, so I'm looking forward to the trip already.
Once I have some feed back from you I'll speak to Chris the owner and see just how he can put it together for us to have an interesting visit.
