Thanks for posting this thread . Please post more information about the toe spreader bar you made .

"Sorry for the lack of photographs – in particular I wanted to show the DIY spreader bar but I can't find that photograph at the moment. I'll post some more photographs if there seems to be a requirement for them when I find them. "

Don't worry it is on the list - along with the transmission rebuild, engine rebuild, paint, steering box rebuild etc etc etc - I'll get there in the end!

If I fake a picture now it will probably confuse people as all of the bits you usually see aren't there! But if you're in a hurry then I used this sort of thing => http://www.wolfcraft.de/jcatalog_generated/en/products/product_groups/14804_product.html If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you can see that the ends of this woodworking clamp can be switched round so that it spreads.

I've got a cunning plan as well to check to make sure that the spreader applies the prescribed force in the FSM too - that involves a spring balance and some bungee cords. Really simple - I bet you can work it out for yourself.
