you should have marked the origonal one so you could measure the distance of that and just set the new one to the same width
 
Rave disc will give you the measurements, I use a sliding curtain pole to set mine , it handles better when set parallel .

they said to much trouble for the price think ive got it sussed though have tracked vehicles before but never done a landrover as you know landrovers have two bars for the steering 1 in front of the axel off the steering box and 1 beheind the axel the origonals can be adjusted on either side independantly but the new ones have a left hand thread on one side and a right hand thread on the other meaning both wheels are adjusted at the same time (slacken the lock nuts spin bar one way both wheels go out spin other way both wheels go in) will set to zero toe with the rear bar and attempt to straighten steering wheel up by adjusting front bar in the same way when adjusting the front one earlier today it just misaligned the steering wheel inside did not move roadwheels at all fingers crossed will try tomorrow in daylight thanks for all replies
