I've lost the message from someone that asked for alignment specs for a
Spitfire. So to whoever needs this, here they are from the 1500 Repair
Operation Manual from BL Cars Limited (copy of original print).
Front end:
Empty Condition 2 people equivalent
Camber 3 degrees positive +/- 1 degree 2 deg. Pos. +/- 1/2 deg.
Toe-in 1/16" to 1/8" in. IN 0 to 1/16' in. IN
Rear
Camber 1 degree negative +/- 1 degree 3 3/4 negative +/- 1 deg.
Toe-in 1/32 to 3/32 in. OUT 0 to 1/16 in. IN
Note on rear camber: If you are greater than specified, check spring
bushings for wear/looseness then for sagging spring.
Note on front alignment: Do camber adjustment first as this will
directly affect the toe-in.
Remember to roll car back and forth several feet between adjustments to
settle tires into new position.
Good luck!
