Had the '70 TR6 in for final wheel allignment.  The Shop, Western
Auto, indicated that the rear wheels could only be toed (castor ?)
and that you could not adjust the camber angles. It is clearly
apparent that from standing behind the car the top of the tires
stick out from the body further than the bottom of the wheels, to
a visually excessive amount. Western Auto confirmed that this was 
not correct but could do nothing to correct the angle.

Are they correct? Why would the Bently manual provide the proper 
camber degrees if you can't adjust them. Can't say this Western
Auto shop ever did a Triumph, but should be able to spot shims
for adjusting camber???
