The 'Eunos Roadster Mk1' alignment settings have been around for years, go to another garage that has up to date hardware :D
That garage must be using equipment which is REALLY old.

i know, had to get it done quick for the NCT, the wheels were all over the place. Brought down some settings and the guy didnt even knoe the symbols for degrees and minutes, he just watched the slider on the screen.
anyway after about 1hr 20mins we were as close to lanny settings as possible, at this stage i ws doing most of the work.
had a caster problem with one of the front wheels, couldnt get it below 6, must be a bush on the way out.

Its cornering well now but pulling slightly to the left, i hve 5.5 caster on the left and 6.2 on the right.

The Alignment bolts are KNOWN to bend in the Mk1s, Mx5Parts have the 'upgraded' ones. I changed all of mine a few years ago and yeah, the fronts were warped !

Why is there a different between the Eunos and MX5 regarding these
settings ? I thought they would be all the same ?
