Default Escort Cosworth Rear Camber

Is it posible to put shims between the hub & wishbone on the rear on an Escort Cosworth with a standard type set up to alter the camber ? At the moment I have a difference of 1' between sides. I can't stretch to a fully adjustable rear as yet, I do have a nice square beam but am still looking for some steel adjustable or Mag arms.
Thanks.

Yes, they are 1mm thicker at the top

Dont sound like much, but I think they affect the camber with 1 degree, and that should have an effect

Correct me if I`m wrong

Mike R has some shims available on his site for £10 IIRC which help, must be worth a shot before spunking 100+ euros on these from Suhe
