he's been off for the past few days mate. He has a backlog of jobs to do so he'll probably get round to your email tomorrow.
I cant recommend him enough though - really nice guy and takes the time to show you what he's doing and what the print out means. :thumbsup

regarding the shims, depends on what you want it set to...

you will need shims if you are making your camber more positive than it already is
you would be best to source them yourself.
