New wheel alignment equipment landed and installed.

I've had them for about a week now, laser wheel alignment gauges, digital camber/castor gauge, all brand spanking new!
even bought a calibration frame so there are no issues if anything doesn't go just quite to plan!
Just getting to grips with it all now, learnt a few new tips and tricks also.
Also it seems that some vehicles leave the factory with uneven camber and castor angles as they are designed for the other side of the road, and the camber that goes with driving on the opersite side, I'm just wondering if some of the aligment quirks I have encountered are not problems but actually built into the van from a designs stage.
Anyway, it's here, I have it and I'm almost conversant with it.
Another thing to rep/teacher/installer bloke mentioned is that when you use their fancy computerised systems (built for idiots to use) the machine asks the fitter what size the original rims were and what size rims the vehicle now uses as this has an impact on wheel alignment, so he has also furnished me with some formulae to calculate the different setting taking into account alternative wheels.
All in all well impressed with the service I got from Supertracker.
Anyone wnat to buy my old Balco A100's? just calibrated and PAT tested?
