Hi Don.

That makes sense. A center line. That way I can see if one wheel is
unparallel to the other. This is what I was wondering about (in part)
as per my last email to the list. After that, toe adjustment can be
made.

Along with Scotts "how to" for alignment, I did see your "board"
method in the archives. Very handy both of them and shows to me what
is needed. And FWIW, I did see a posting from Robert Keezer with yet
another method. Paint cans, 2x4 etc. All good stuff.

The help is much appreciated.

Sure is nice to feel the support from this list!

Neil.
