Default setting adjustable tca on a cossie.

Does anyone know how much longer you need to make an adjustable tca to gain a degree of negative camber? Cheers.

Okay so lets assume an alignment is already done but at the track you decide you need to make a camber adjustment on the fly. How much do you lengthen/shorten to gain or remove a 1/2 a degree? (say thread pitch is 1mm, that means 1 full turn makes tca 2mm longer. How does that translate to camber?).

each car is different so it would be impossible to say for example 1 turn = - 1 degree
