You should be able to set that by eye.

I think the measurement is less than I said on second thoughts. In fact I am going to set things parallel and add a couple of turns toe in.

that would be the best bet i think les
there is a section on the beardmore brothers site about setting up tracking
might be worth a look

I made myself a very simple tracking gauge - with Dexion angle. It works very well indeed - gets the same result if I measure several times . Adding 'a couple of turns' is way too much. Important that the track rods on each side end up exactly the same length - usually done by measuring the threaded section showing past the trackrod ends.

The track rods are equal in length the steering column bolt is at the bottom and horizontal, and tracking is just off parallel. (I think!)

And the steering wheel spokes are at 2, 6 & 10 o'clock

The 6 o'clock spoke is missing!

Never did like the 2 spoke wheel. 2, 6 & 10 are for the MM. I should have said 4, 8 & 12 for the 1000.
