OK after years of playing with the blade ?

After years playing with the Blade on trackdays it's time to put it on the road.
Sooner pay £400 for a mac rather than fanny arse around but, all the crashed chassis's on ebay are being rebuilt.
So
How do I undo all the work I've done to get it to handle, It's mainly the self centring issue, at present using spacers to limit steering lock, do I use sierra valve sorings, 3 mm toe in How much toe out do I need (see piccy for were I've measured from. same point at back of wheel.) caster as per mushroom, camber 1.5 deg in at top of rim.
Any advice gratefully accepted

I wouldn't use valve springs myself.

I would set the steering straight ahead, set the holes on the mushrooms to the front, set a degree or so of neg camber and see how it goes - maybe play with the tyre pressures a bit.

My indy used to self centre very strongly with these sort of settings.

Mine does the same with the above, I've also got 1 degree two out for the SVA.

Cheers
