Front Wheel Camber Issue
Going from the Valleys to Hereford to meet up with Brother in Law and have a blow out just past Abergavenny. Ok I think ''I hope the tyre is ok for a repair (Toyo)''. Once I take the tyre off I can see that 50mm of the tyre has gone down as far as the rubber below the steel of the tyre. It looks lie somebody peeled the tyre away as the rest of the tyre (under 2k old + one Llandow session) is perfect. It still has the coloured lones in the tread. I check the other tyre and it's the same.
I'm gueeing there is a camber issue but I have not changed it.
Any ideas?

Just went for the other side Kev and bought this:
Vauxhall : Very Rare & Unique Opportunity - Please read
Picked it up yesterday from the other side of London. Drove it back with semi slick race tyres in the rain and it was a (bit lairy ) hoot.
I still have to sell the Scoobie but I'm not in a rush.

Ok I still have the camber issue. Having not used the car a lot since the original post, and despite having the wheel alignment done, I still have a neg camber on the front wheels. Is there a wheel geometry centre in Wales?
I have a contact now for the VX (Scared Stiff) but did not want to drive the car that distance due ti tyre ware
Any help?

Andy at ACE can get the full geometry setup to "prodrive" settings, he uses a local company with lazer alignment gear to do the work.
Hopefully mine will be getting done next week.
