CCX Steering Geometry
Hi Guys, I now have CCX3 4028 on the road here in the UK. 
I still need to set up the steering geometry.
what are the recommended settings for toe, castor, camber etc?
Please help before I destroy my new Avons. 
Thanks for all the help and advice given during my build too.

Should you use the settings for Jaguar XKE or through trial and error, have CCX owners come up with a better settings?

Hey Kevin, congrats that's big news. I would run around 1/16-1/8" toe in, Jag manual says 2 deg+/- 1/2 caster, CCX manual says 3-5, more being heavier at low speed with better self straightening. Jag manual says 1/4 +/- 1/2 +ve camber, CCX manual says 0 or a tad -ve if you're a corner carver. Do you have the manual?

Thanks guys,
I have the CCX build PDFs and a XJ manual.
Mine being a late model isn't covered in the CCX pdfs.
I'll get it measured first off and see where I am.
I have crude camber gauge and I think I'm around 0 camber on one side and about 1/2 degree neg on the other, this is with no shims.
To achieve negative on the other side I'd have to machine the top wishbone mounting blocks down a little.
I have adjustable castor so that should be easy enough.

Is the XJ manual PDF or electronic? I'd sure like to have an XJ manual.
