Cool alignment specs for 92 unique?

does anyone have alignment specs for older Unique with MGB front end. If possible email me at ericeckhoff@attbi.com or fax to 303-805-7688.
Thanks much,
Eric

I am sure you can get the alignment specs from Alan at Unique. BUT if you want your Cobra to ride at a different height (lower)
than they specify it won't matter anyway. Find a shop in your area that knows street rods and they can easily do it. I could not use their specs i thought it sat like a 4 WD.

deadwood...

on my previous Unique, I had Alan fax me the specs. The problem is they use a very wide range that most good alignment guys will laugh at. I modelded mine after a 79 Mustang, and it worked OK at first. I went back again and the alignment tech came up with something a bit tighter. It depends if you are using the older MG front end, or the upgraded tube control arm suspenson though. The rear alignment is limited to your trailing arm adjustment fore/aft on each side, if you have the tri-bar reas stabilizer setup from Unique. If not, get Alan to make it for you, its worth it's weight in gold. Much more stable under load in turns.

On the alignment, the one thing that made the most difference to me is Alan's recommendation to be sure to use 1/8" toe-in setting. It's a light car, with a light front end having the engine set way back, so the extra toe-in helps to prevent wandering. Maybe Alan has some updated specs you can use. Otherwise, as the previous poster stated, find a good Street Rod alignment tech...
