I have just checked the tracking of the car, a bit of toe-in. I attach pics of the set-up which is not a standard Austin 7 I believe.
The linking drop-arm seems to be held by clamps secured by pinch bolts and I can see no threaded part on either end. The links are attached with tapered cotter-pins with nuts (as per cycle pedals) and there is no clear line of sight to allow a straight punch to knock them out. There is also a brake pipe in the way.
All the nuts will move relatively easily but I cannot seem to shift the link member and don't want to resort to brute force and excessive heat.
Can anyone offer advice as to adjusting the tracking?
