Where to get aftermarket caster kits

many moons ago there use to be a aftermarket caster kit that was similar to an XF falcon one, for those of you that dont konw what the falcon one looks like it has an excentric bolt and 2 fixed brackets that are on the Xmember with a slotted hole in them so that when you spin the bolt it pushes the lower control arm in or out.
So if anyone knows where you can get these kits from please let me know Thanks Michael

The caster rods move the front wheels forward and back. If thats what you want to do, then try finding some castor rods out of an LJ torana, they are stronger, longer and have good adjustment. Small mods necessary to fit them but its pretty easy with lots of castor angle achieveable.

yes,do you want to change the static camber of the wheel,or the castor?if you want to change the camber,this can be achieved with adjustable castor arms,the more castor,the more the wheel will 'fall over' when it's turned.this will mean less wear on the tyre inner edge,increasing the life of the tyre.my sunny has 1.5 degrees static negative,with 6 degrees castor.when you turn the wheel,it automatically starts picking up more negative camber,which sits the tyre flatter to the road,when you take body roll into account.
if you still want to do it with a camber pin,most suspension places will be able to supply a kit. or you could get the crossmember redrilled.

You can :-
a) redrill a hole in the x-member b) get a longer lower control arm from a stanza, skyline. or cut it and weld in plates to give it more length c) fabricate your own lower control arm which is adjustable

I think I've confused myself I've got R31 radius rods ADJ , S13 lower control arms non ADJ and ADJ tops to move the top left and right ....I also want to move the lower control arm in and out {left - right} (not sure if thats caster or camber???) If there is no such thing that you can buy off the shelf its no drama as I will make it
