G'day.. This is from a post from an Oz member who seems to know a bit about these things. He has also made suggestions to improve tyre wear which will not help you as you drive on the right/wrong
side of the road but you wheel alignment guy should be able to translate that to be useful for your situation...
Toe = 0mm, +- 1.5mm
Camber = -0deg20min +- 30min
caster = +3deg20min +- 30min
KPI = +16deg.04min
I would suggest 1mm toe in, left camber -10min, right camber 0deg, and make caster angle of right wheel 15-20mins less than left wheel. This should give you good tyre wear and make it run straight on cambered roads.
Cheers..

So this is why you asked on the delicaclub.com forum, Jasper.
RT from delicaclub.com has a service specification that seems to be the factory specification.

Toe In: 0 +- 3mm (0 mm with a tolerance of plus/minus 3mm)
Castor: +3 deg 50' +- 30' (Plus 3 degrees 50' with a tolerance of plus/minus 30')
Camber: -0 deg 20' +- 30' (Minus 0 degrees 20' with a tolerance of plus/minus 30')
The European Space Gear/L400 chassis manual states the following.
- Toe-in
- At the centre of the tread, 0 ± 3 mm
At the rim of disc wheel, 0 ± 1.7 mm
Toe-angle (per wheel), 0° ± 7'
Camber
- 2WD, 0°00' ± 30' (Difference between right and left within 30')
4WD, -0°20' ± 30' (Difference between right and left within 30')
Caster (laden)
- 2WD, 3° 27' ± 30' (Difference between right and left within 30')
4WD, 4° 06' ± 30' (Difference between right and left within 30')
Kingpin inclination
- 2WD, 15° 40'
4WD, 16° 05'
Note the slight difference in caster between the two sources.
