I am currently setting up a cross member in my Capri and need the help of a Forum member to take a measurement from their Capri please.
The measurement I need is from the center of the front wheel hub to the rear of the front guard where it meets the recess on the sill. A measurement from both sides would be good in case one side is out a bit.
TIA

Hi Blue,
The measurement you seek will not allow for individual caster settings.
The factory manual has a body tolerance chart. It has several measurements to cross check the point that youre after.
Cheers...ron.

Measurements from a Capri with non adjustable sway bar and TCA and sitting at ride height would be good thanks Ron, I am not fitting a standard cross member however want to know where the centre of the wheel sits in relation to the guard.

Thanks for taking the time to take the measurements Spud that is exactly what I need.
I would expect the measurement in the first images to be quite different as the suspension was unloaded however these do give me an idea of what I need to achieve to get the wheel in the center of the arch with the correct caster.

Spuds got so many cars, he can just keep taking photo's till he finds one with the dimensions you think it should be Blue!
