Toe in

Post by BSAA10Richard »

I took my 1953 in to the local garage to have the wheel alignment set and checked, the book states for 500x14 tyres 3/32" or 2.4mm toe in, in 2014 Tricky Dicky wrote that 0.8degrees is the equivalent the garage thinks that is too much and has set it at 0,04degrees at the moment, as I need to adjust the camber and castor on one side which will mean setting the toe in again , I have spoken to a minor specialist in the Midlands who suggests that with 155-R80-14 tyres to half the original specs in the manual. Can anyone confirm that 2.4mm is the same as 0.8degrees and how this has been obtained as trying to search on the web to convert 2.4mm to degrees is so confusing that I cannot grasp it
