[Healeys] A-arm frame mounts specs

[Bob Spidell]

I think if one's going so far as to weld in new A-arm mounts it might be 
a good time to install some means for camber/caster adjustment, either 
with something like the Kilmartin shock mounts or Tom's inserts 
(relatively easy since you'll have the front end disassembled, or nearly 
so, anyway).
