<div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px">I used Center Exit Tire in Beaver county to have my Spitfire aligned. But that was over 10 years ago. They were the only alignment shop in my area with a rack that my Spitfire would fit on. Any skilled alignment shop can do the job but most of the racks aren't narrow enough - as of ten+ years ago. You will need to have the front and rear both aligned. Camber and toe in on the front. Only toe in on the rear. It's probably best to take the alignment specs with you to the alignment shop. You can find the specs in the various manuals and/or the owners handbook. Let me know if you can't find them and I'll look them up for you. Also get some spare shims for the front and rear camber adjustments. The alignment shops won't have the proper shims and it's hard to tell if their shims will cause any issues down the road. The Roadster Factory used to stock them. Probably Rimmer Brothers in England will have them. Maybe Moss Motors in the US. Scott Harper at Team Triumph may also be able to provide them. Let me know if you can't find any. I probably have some spares. But they will probably need to be blasted and painted. </div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px">Gary</div></div><br></div><div><br></div>
