Needing to purchase a camber/caster gauge. They seem to run from $115 - $300....Have used the Smart Camber but want something less than $299. Anyone used the Longacres magnetic camber gauge? Hope everyone had a safe race week. The Northwest was awash in rain for Sundays events. Oh, how much fun!! NOT.

Ebay! Just keep watching, also check out racingjunk. I use the LA on and alum. contraption they sell. Also check out the LA site, they sell discontinued stuff for WAY less!

We picked up a Longacre on closesout/return a couple years back. IIRC under a hundred bucks or there abouts. They have one left of the same one, 90 bucks. And a few others too.

Gotta call and see if it's stil available. I've got a couple things from the scratch and dent section and they've all been good. Good folks.
