Camber is dead easy -- use a long sprit level and some wooden shims as packing 4mm is roughly 0.5 degrees.
Toe-in is more difficult --- you can get an approximantion using string and axle stands but it really needs to be set properly is some sort of
gauge --- the "Trackrite" type work fine. Remember a book locost has colossal bumpsteer so set the toe-in under normal laden conditions
-- with driver.
Corners weights use a pair of decent bathroom scales --they must be the same height and measure up to 150+kg
