Re: Model A Toe-In Alignment Procedure
This site by Mr. Marco describes Toe-In alignment in great detail.
"Marco's Model 'A' Ford Barnyard"
Ford later revised toe-in to be set a 1/16" plus or minus 1/32.
Something maybe to consider:
1. It is recommended that bent Model A spoke wheels should be corrected to move inward and/or outward no more than 1/8"; however, many Model A wheels exceed this recommended limit.
2. If both front wheels only move inward or outward at 1/8" at the same time, or at different times at 1/8", the 1/16" toe in measurement could appear rather erratic ..... and even more erratic for bent front wheels that exceed the 1/8" recommended.
3. Could be possible to measure 1/16" toe in at one location on the tire's circumference and obtain a different toe in dimension at a different location on the tire's circumference.
4. No doubt if one "re-checked" toe in after driving a mile or two, many would resort to saying toe in is "close enough".
