Stuart Taylor Castor?

Hi guys.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the castor angle is standard on a Stuart Taylor Loco Blade Chassis. Doesn't seem to have any adjustable castor but I'm curious to where it's likely to be fixed standard?

Dan.

My Aries (same chassis) measured in at between 2 and 3 degrees both sides. New wishbones required to change it.

.75 LH, and 2.25 RHS

This was after setup by ProComp. The problem I believe with my car is that Aries changed the placement of their wishbone brackets at some point during production, and their wishbones as well. I think I have wishbones not originally intended for my chassis, hence crappy castor. I am planning to have a set of top wishbones made, probably with rod ends for adjustment. ProComp were very confident that moving the efective pivot point back 25mm would have a dramatic improvment on steering feel and self-centreing (due to the added castor it would give).
