alignment specs

I converted my wife’s ‘72 Clubman to 13” wheels . It pulls to the right and was looking for any alignment spec for this car. I know the shop won’t have them when I take it in to be corrected.
Thanks bunches
 
The basic specifications are...
Front
1/16" toe-out.
2 +/- 1 degree positive camber
3 +/- 1 degree positive caster

Rear
1/8" toe-in

I'm surprised by the positive front camber. That and the other specs are from a late model Haynes manual.
 
Hi, agree with doug on specs(check out with autodata for 72 mini),Wheel base is 2036mm but the only adjustment normally possible to carry out is the toe in,the rest (camber and caster)are fixed by the top and bottom arm and the tie rod,check the measurements from the body to the top and bottom ball joint are the same on both sides ,the most common cause I have found over the years is damage to the tie rod itself or to the front mounting point,thus pushing the wheel slightly back,making it pull to that side.
