[Mgs] Alignment tool

[Charley & Peggy Robinson]

I have a similar, if not the same, toe-in measuring tool.  What I'm 
leery of is finding a way to insure that each front wheel has the same 
toe-in angle compared the the rear wheel on the same side.  Not easy to 
ascertain.  The tool is rather flexible.
