I'll post a pic later, if you want to Google "Gunson Trakrite G4008" you'll see it sooner. Amazon.co.uk has a listing. Only place I saw it your way was 130 bucks. (not sure what the exchange rate is this minute). If you prefer something vintage with a cool name, there's this ALIGN-A-MATIC which works on exactly the same principle (Weaver Gauges have been around since the late 50s?) www.ebay.com/itm/261695034706 |

Here's a (click link) pic:  and a video: Have a look at these two threads John: www.ffcars.com/forums/17-factory-five-roadsters/9473-alignment-problem-dmv.htmlwww.thegaragegazette.com/index.php?topic=19295.0It seems S&G Tool Aid discontinued these Align-A-Matics fairly recently, there's nothing wrong with them in principle, it's probably because nobody fixes their own car any more  They do look sturdier than the Gunson Trakrite though. Perhaps keep you eyes open for one in yard sale going for few bucks?? Let's go back in time to 1932...:  (©Castle Equipment, Braidwood, Illinois, USA) These things are also known as "Weaver boards" or "Weaver guages". |

Well not yet, but the election result is in. The anti-austerity Syriza party won the Greek general election. Euro down on news (never mind the ECB and their QE plans) But more important news has just come in: Demis Roussos has died. www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-30984851RIP Demis. |

Indeed, such a shame. He was very much of his era and even made wearing tents (guide pegs often included) fashionable. A sad loss.

A big HELLO (& sorry for the absence of late) from across the pond...Bad weather & long hours have prevented me from doing much DAFing all Winter but today SARGE & I went out to the annual Manchester (VT) Antique & Classic Car Show. The first car show this year as well as the first ever show for SARGE who managed a 2nd place trophy in Military Class for the effort.   Hopefully the reports will now begin once more and the upcoming DCA 30th Anniversary Meet is only two weeks away. John
