A board with nails or clamps will work for toe.
The problem is getting UNDER the engine so you need a "U" shape which I was
able to fabricate with a board with two swinging arms and a nail in the
tip. But the toe plates seem, to me, to be easier.
But my main question was don't you measure toe with the vehicle weighted?
The to plates I references seem to go on the calipers which is unsprung???
A simple mechanical incline gauge works for C/C.
