Howard Lucas is the MS importer and should have all the spares you require. Mobile might be easier 07802 758495

I am not familiar with the 2001 chassis but the principal is the same. The different castor blocks have different offsets which changes the kingpin inclination ( castor). Using the circles (zero) the angle is 15 degrees and you can thereafter fine tune this to suit the conditions in 0.5 degree increments by slipping on the various castor blocks (0.5 - 2). So for a high grip dry day using a 2 block (off) you can achieve a castor angle of 13 degrees. In low grip wet conditions spinning this block through 180 degrees results in castor angle of 17 degrees. If you consider these two settings to be at the extremes you can thereafter use different blocks to suit the conditions.

The big " however" with this is castor is only one adjustment. There is a very good article on the technical section of this web site that explains this in a great deal of detail. Enjoy
