Has anyone got any basic measurements that I can set the suspension and steering to before I take the car off the stands?

Hi mate.
I've got sent this info from Marlin.... based on a 1600 being built
Ride height 6" from the bottom chassis rails.
Camber 1/2 deg negative at ride height. (F & R)
Tracking 3mm of toe in (never to be more than parallel ... F & R)
Steering attachment arms (hub) adjust so as to make the steering arm run parallel with the floor and the rack centre.
This is a suggested starting point. Personal preference may suggest that some variation would be preferred.
There are not any definite rights for steering geometry settings but there are a few definite wrongs try starting from where I've suggested, then experiment..
HTH.
