All you need is a knowledge of basic trig a decent spirit level of just over a foot long , a level surface and a few shims of between 1/16" and 1/2" thickness made out hardboard,MDF or metal.

Over a 14" span 1 degree camber equates to very close to 1/4"

Made one, basicaly its a "straight edge" that i hold up to the wheel with a plumb line hanging from the top 100mm from the wheel, butcherd a steel rule n fixed to bottom of straight edge with the 100mm mark lining up with the plumb line when vertical at 90*, from there its calculator time, seems to work ok, got loads a camber on left hand side for Mallory, well not loads but more than normal.


btw Dave, could'nt get that file too download, maybe its just me cos i see plenty have.
