C2/C3 Rear Toe/Shim experts needed

[Andy Grigorian #28359]

On the "average" C2/C3, if the rear toe is set exactly at 0", how much shim thickness on both sides of car would be moved to achieve 1/32" toe-in at both wheels? Would that same thickness simply double to achieve 1/16" toe-in? 4 times for 1/4"? Is there a general thickness or will this vary from car to car? I suppose this would change with tire diameter. I am running 205/78/15 on my '65.

You are probably getting a little too precise here, but if you look at the geometry you should get just about the same amount of toe as the thickness of shim. You can bet that the factory wasnt that precise. And the camber settings have effect on the numbers too.
