Using standard bushes with +50 mm springs in mine I ended up with +3 degrees castor which is factory.
If it drives ok on the road now then normal castor bushes should be ok.
This bloke explains well.

I've got a small press here if you need + the impact sockets I used to push the old bushes out.
Thanks jboot51 :)
I find myself shaking my head, wondering how an Australian-made product can be had from Paddocks for 2/3 the price of local suppliers. I can only assume economy of scale, or not comparing apples with apples.
At this stage, it looks like I'll be putting an order through to the UK.
I'd like to think the price is due to volume of sales.
With regard to Castor, that wasn't the vid I was thinking of.
Basically correct Castor will make the steering basically feel safer, you can feel the road.
Incorrect castor will make you feel nervous with twitchy steering.
Analogy-
good Castor-pushbike, front fork creates castor, downhill 60km/h no problems.
bad castor-kids tricycle, handlebars go straight down to wheel, 0 castor, same scenario, I'd be scared.
I replaced all the suspension bolts while I was at it.
Probably no need to, but you should replace the nyloc nuts.
