Hello thanks for the information on tracking .As a matter of coincidence Ive just received all the history of the car and in it was the Rover cars by V.H.Watson.However on page 187 it says,that all beam axle cars should be 1/16 inch not 1/4 inch Which is which ,since you seem to be the man who knows Also it says the clutch was rebuilt in 2014 since which it hardly done any miles.But the clutch only bites when the pedal is almost fully out,and the play is correct if not a bit high at 35mm.

Thanks for letting confirming the correct toe in.Is it worth having the caster angle checked at the same time,or is this fixed on the 1934 Rover 12s Len
