Castor Shims are tapered so it depends on which shim you have and where along the taper they are centered. Summit Racing carries a bunch of different ones from 1° to a lot. |

Caster.
“Castor oil is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans. It is a colourless or pale yellow liquid with a distinct taste and odor. Its boiling point is 313 °C and its density is 0.961 g/cm³. It includes a mixture of triglycerides in which about 90% of fatty acids are ricinoleates. “Wikipedia

I was hoping someone other than me would respond. Thanks Bruce.
I still remember the smell of the Castor oil from riding in planes with Cole Palen at the Rhinebeck Aerodrome as a kid. World War I plane designs relied on a small selection of engines, and most of them were lubricated with castor oil.

In my defense that was posted using Google talk to type while being loaded in my Dump truck. I have corrected my grievous error.

Words matter. One of the side benefits of this forum is merciless enforcement of the English language. It's not an oil galley, it's an oil gallery! Blaming the computer works too.

I have no experience with castor oil . . and that is probably a good thing.
My '2A has non-stock axles . . front and rear, and has shims at both ends. In the front -> to get proper caster angle, In the rear -> to get proper driveshaft angle. I do not like having shims in rear, and will someday cut the spring perch off, and weld where it should be. If my math is correct, assuming a 4" long shim (like mine), the difference from one end to other should be: 1 deg 0.07" 2 deg 0.14" 3 deg 0.21" 4 deg 0.28" 5 deg 0.35" 6 deg 0.42" 7 deg 0.49" 8 deg 0.56" Edited by JeepFever - 06 Oct. 2022 at 10:19pm |

Mark,
Feel sorry for you about being "loaded in my Dump truck". |

If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

Or lots of technical manual writers don't own a dictionary and the English-major proof readers were out to lunch that day?

Not any different than switching the words “then” and “than”. Different spellings, different meanings but it seems I see them interchanged more and more every day.
