12 of 19mm bolts were loosened and re-tightened to arrange wheelbase values of VW1302 Super Beetle today. Ugly toe-out condition was observed after precise measurement inviting a LASER equipped special tool. Unavoidable muscle work as it was to correct the error in the wheel alignment, completely different driving taste was obtained, just I was rewarded in exchange of some back muscle pain. Though toe-in setting and it's direction, thrust vector direction was established, total toe value is not measured because of time limit today, also my concentration capability has ruined after that.
Steering reaction has remarkably improved as to take it like a different one. Improvement on my Super Beetle would be achieved one by one and step by step obtaining better results than before.
As a planning after the establishment of wheelbase values on both side, thrust angle would be adjusted by lateral offset displacement on frontal axle constructive geometry, because the thrust is fixed by total toe adjustment keeping similarity of wheel base values on both side.

The name plate shown here has been hung so long as for half a century on the wall of well-established Leica shop at Shinsaibashi Namba in OSAKA. Most of the managements of the store had been mainly done by some noble and sophisticated lady called as not "TOKYO Rose" but "OSAKA Leica", the very name plate is now at my hand! Leica is female noun in Germany.
The shop had been continuing to deal only Leica but nothing, all the competitors in OSAKA were at a loss how could she do that with specializing Leica bland only? Overcoming several difficult period of times caused by some domestic economical variations, she could keep her own concept, "Leica".
Anyway she had been dealing only regular imports from Germany and Canada Leitz Company. Her dealing concept must have been based on her innate Prides and Self-esteems for over 50 years of period. Such kind of woman with a resolute as she is, the Leica shop in Daimaru Shinsaibashi was closed on the beginning of this year, because of some her health difficulty influenced by age.
She gave me this marvelous and treasure like name plate for the sake of long term relationships.
