I have moved the main threaded adjuster back 5mm to the book dimensions. With the Rose Joints I should be able to increase/decrease the caster as required for my car.
I believe DRCorsa has stated in Algas post on "self centering" that this will increase the caster by 1.4 degrees.
Camber will be adjustable in situ with a homemade camber adjuster.
You could simplify it with adjusters on the inside and use the mx5 outer joint. The inners will do both caster and camber.
