You can get them in a variety of changes, 1-1/20 is one. They are available
up to 20. Check an alignment parts book at your local parts store.

I use them in combination with spindle shims--get the camber close to 00 on
both sides with spindle shims, then use 20 castor correctors to improve the
castor and fine tune the camber.
