Hi folks,
I need to measure/align the frame of W108. Any idea where I can get the frame data?
Thx

I talked to Classic folks in CA as well as in Germany.
CA has nothing. From Germany I got a few pages faxed from a "Tabellenbuch". Basically the procedures how to align wheels.
Also got some hints from a German shop that sells body alignment racks and tools.
Original text from the German Classic Center folks: "Oh, hmm, they did not do a lot about control points etc at that time and for that chassis"
But, now I know where the main reference or control point is. And luckily I have 2 more W108.
That should be enough to take measurements from both the "good' ones. Hope those measurements match and then align the patient accordingly.
You bet that I will make notes ....
OTOH, this way I now got the drawings for the fintails
Thanks
Oskar |
