Vehicle positioning

An apparatus for locating the relative position of a part on a vehicle, said apparatus comprising:

• a main body having an attachment mechanism at one end thereof operable to attach said body to said vehicle;
• an elongate member extending substantially from said main body and universally pivotably mounted to pivot relative to said main body about a pivot point at a central point of the attachment mechanism;
• a fixing device operable to releasably fix the position of the elongate member relative to the main body;
• and
• a measuring position located at a predetermined position along the elongate member, wherein the apparatus is arranged such that, in use, the measuring position lies vertically below said central point.

An apparatus for locating the relative position of a part on a vehicle, said apparatus comprising:

• a device operable to define each of a plurality of measuring points associated with said part;
• a measuring device operable for measuring the distance from first and second measuring locations on said vehicle to each of said measuring points;
• a calculator for calculating the position of each of said measuring points relative to a fixed location on the vehicle;
• and
• a device configured to compare the position of each of said measuring points relative to said fixed locations so as to determine the position of said part on said vehicle.
