>Pat, I HOPE the reason you found no mention of the shims in the manual is
that there ARE no shims - at least none that I'm aware of. If there are,
then mine are missing. I rebuilt the front end last winter and, since no
shims came off, none went back on.

The TR2,3, and 4 had fixed geometry and was not adjustable for camber and
caster. The TR4A, 5, 250, 6 and Spitfires, however had provisions for
shims to adjust the caster and camber. The Wedges retro'd to the non
adjustable status.
INTERNATIONAL CONTENT: Since the TR2/3/4 is a derivation of the Vangard I
would assume that the Vangard shares the non-adjustable status. The
Spitfire relied heavily on the Hearld so I would assume that the Herald has
shims for adjustment. I can't comment on the other Saloons as I haven't
had much opportunity to examine these.
