 Can anyone help with front end geometry on a rupp chapparal? I am restoring a 1967 enduro and the front is tweaked. Looking for king pin inclination mostly front to back. I can set camber based on spindles. also the height of the yoke from the bottom of the chassis.  If you have a straight one can you measure yours?

From a Karting world article from 1963 for the Grand Prix which I am pretty sure has the same front end as a Chaparral.
Caster: 12 degCamber: 0 degKing Pin inclination: 8 degreesToe in: 0    (I have found that a little toe out helps cornering)
Hope this helps,Scott
