Hi Jeff

I did something similar. I just set the toe in and camber using those offset
washers as required between the axle plate and the leg bracket. Then I just
forced epoxy and flox into the gap until it squeezed out the other side. I
smeared the faces lightly with vaseline to prevent bondage. In situ poured
shims you might say :-)

One other thing......both toe in and camber will vary with aircraft weight
due to the offset angle of the gear legs.

And another......  You need to set both with wheels on ball bearing plates
because the friction of the tyres on hanger floor affects the results
depending on whether the aircraft is rolled forward or backward. 

Too whroo
