[TR] TR3 Castor Angle?

The TR3 has zero degrees of castor:  it is possible to install TR4 upper
wishbones to gain (I think it is 3 degrees) castor, but one then also has to
have a corresponding trunnion.  I did this on TS 51185LO and it was sweet -
but clearly not "as original as possible".

Subject: [TR] TR3 Castor Angle?

When I ask my alignment guy why the steering on my car does not try to
return to center after a turn he explained it was because the castor was set
at nil and is not adjustable.

Is there an alternative way to make the steering a little more driver
friendly?  I have not gone to R&P steering as I am trying to keep this car
as original as possible.
