Starduster too project. Gear is later style but toe-in about 0.75 degrees total toe and 1.5 degrees negative camber (tops of wheels closer to center). These measurements are with no wings and no engine, so far from final weight.
1) is it pointless to work on this without final weight. My feeling is that the camber will get worse if anything when loaded and the toe shouldn’t change much. Any guidance out there on how much things move from bare to loaded?
2) when rebending-how much will it move after bending when cooling. A lot or little, is it sort of chasing your tail till you figure out how much to over/under shoot? Or can you just bend to final and it will basically stay there.
3) is it possible to walk it in by spot heating and shrinking to slowly pull it one way?
4) after bending, any heat treatments recommended?
Thx, Chris
