Speedster Portugal (mcp) - 2nd doubt - camber and toe in | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Dear listers,
A few days ago, I received some advice concerning how make the steering more precise (less 'vague'). The advice was: if the steering feels 'vague' and there's not any free play, I should put some toe-in in the front wheels (1/16") and some negative camber (1 degree).
My replica has a swingle-axle rear suspension. Does anyone know what should be done in terms of toe-in and camber, BOTH in front and rear suspension?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

JPS has published his specs on this in previous posts.
