This is a Genuine Factory Mechanics tool for aligning front wheels on early model Holdens like the FX - FJ. Brand is Servex. It corectly allows the front end to be adjusted on the car. You can adjust the front end yourself with this correct tool. No more prematurely scrubbed out tires. Or the hassle of taking the car to workshops that don't know anything about working on the early Holdens. A copy of the instructions on how to use this tool, as seen in the picture below.
