Maybe oldtimers disease is clicking in! I seem to remember seeing one but it
could have been altered. I consulted a friend who has one fitted and his only
has the camber adjustment. He claims the camber adjustment is in-built into
the shocktowers in relation to chassis (apparently the top is not exactly
parallel to the chassis?)
I stand corrected

The axis for castor displacement is the inclanation of the king pin viewed
from the side of the vehicle. Moving the plate on the shock tower forwards or
backwards will not affect castor, this is fixed. It will however affect the
steering principals.

inwards/outwards the other does forward/back
