      It is. It would probably be pretty easy to make a set out of some angle iron for a few bucks.

    Excellent video. This is the best way I’ve seen yet to adjust the toe in/ out.

      They are pretty slick as long as the vehicle sits up high enough for the tape measures to clear. I might make up some drop brackets so they can be used on lower vehicles.

    Nifty little tool/invention.
    Correct about purchasing two identical brand new tape measures since every brand is different.I noticed it’s always the tape measure holding edge piece that has variability.They tend to slightly slide back and forth despite the rivets.Many times i prefer using a wood rule where I can for more precision.Thanks for the advice.

      Thanks for watching. I was told a long time ago that the end piece is supposed to move so that it will make up for the difference in the thickness of the end when you measure from the outside (hooking the end) or to the inside (butting the end of the tape up to what you are mesduring).

    I did that but I need to check it again as the outside of the passenger side tire is wearing more than the inside. I think I will make some of those and try again. Thank you.

      Thanks for watching. I did notice that the wishbone is in the way if you are running a later style or dropped front axle. If you make your own, use angle with a wider flange so they hang lower. That should avoid any clearance issues.

    That looks like a lot more work and greater possibility of making a mistake than the way Paul Shinn does it. Do you have an easier way that Paul's method?

      I don't know how he does it but this is pretty easy. Bolt on the plates, set up the tape measures and make the adjustments.
