Snap On Model "A" Castor/Camber

Post by supersmile »

Hi All,

I'm trying to get some more information on a magnetic castor/camber gauge I found in some spares that came with a car I bought. It is listed as a model "A", serial number 09220. Patent number 2645860.

you have a WA40A gauge the part number would have been a sticker on the top flat part and was prone to being worn or torn off. you can find it on this site in the 1975 catalog on page 179

We had a Snap-On Alignment set with portable stands, these gauges worked well, However, I don't miss performing Alignments with portable stands.
