Oooops, caster is definitely adjustable! (Spitfire/GT6)  by removing either
the front or rear A- arm shim(s), not both at the same time, castor can be
altered -  When you remove only the front shim the lower portion of the
vertical link relative to the upper 'ball joint' portion is brought
forward, and removing the rear shim only, the reverse is true
