I'm hoping someone can pass on the size of the allen key for the camber adjustment bolt. (front on my Syncro of course)
cheers and thanks
Jay

Right on, even better than I'd hoped. Thanks for that. I like the idea of using an old 14 mm bolt and keeping the money the tool would have cost.
cheers
Jay

Japanese cars use loads of 14mm headed bolts.

My old SVX has already made the ultimate sacrifice, I'm glad it will have one more use to me.
thanks again
