It's pretty simple thank goodness.

The castor is stated in The Book as being 11mm. But to make the specified 5.5 degrees that you need it should be 22mm.

Still worth building some adjustabilty into the suspension though as even 22mm may not be enough to self centre and get you through the IVA.

Cheers,
James
