Hi Ash, they are currently sitting in my car at home and will be brought to Cadwell for anyone to use as normal.

Thanks,
Matthew

Hi Matt, Brent is requesting their use at a test day next week, is this something that can be organised?

I'm afraid not as I'm away at the moment so they are currently locked in my car. I won't be back until Cadwell itself. I'm pretty sure I've seen someone else in the paddock with tracking gauges, but can't remember who unfortunately

You could always use the 'string' method.  all you need is builders line and 4 axle stands. 

This is cheap and very accurate, no calibration required, and as long as you take the time to set them up properly, parallel about the car and across the centreline of the wheel. 
Take your time and have patience and paper to make notes. 

You may have noticed me do it at Silverstone on the shed for Nick recently.

Flat floor and an enclosed area helps as you don't want the wind to blow the strings away from the car!! (Been there!)

Google it!  Loads of info about and you tube vids. 

Good luck.
