Before you judge a guy, walk a mile in his shoes. Then when you judge him, you're a mile a way and you've nicked his shoes.

A detailed drawing someone posted on here shows it as between 4 and 4.5 degrees

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

Nominal angle from Ford is 4°48', and surprisingly the applied castor is only 1°40' +-45'! - the weight must have a big bearing on
the self centring
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

This is from a bigger GIF I've got... 4 1/4 degrees if I read it correctly?

Depends on who you ask I think. 
I've read that something around 10degs is optimal (Des Hamill's book) so that's what I'll be aiming for.
As I understand it though (and I don't profess to being anywhere near to knowing it all) you can compensate for the lack of KPI of the
'tina parts in some areas by adjusting other measurements.
