Wow, you have done some serious work on this
I remember seeing the engine down Joe Stevens a while ago, when i was having my engine built.
I thought i had owned my car for a long time (13 years)

just had my front geometry set up this morning but could not get my castor right tried to set it to mike rainbirds settings but ive ended up with this
toe in 2mm total
camber 2.5. degrees negative
castor 5. degrees
could not get castor due to drive shaft binding with top mount all the way in
so turned top mount to centre line but facing rear wards but then wheels touch arch at back so had to set castor at 5 degrees to centre wheel in arch ,
it feels a lot more stable now but time will tell.

suppose you only need to do it once but you could put a pipe on nipple side and make it remote
