Jaguar Rear Suspension Setting Tool (Link) - JD-25

Hello,
I plan to rebuild my IRS over the festive period (planning ahead) from many boxes of bits where, to set the Camber Angle, the books cite that I should use a Suspension Setting Tool where a drawing is then supplied to enable their manufacture (a pair required if setting both sides at the same time).
However, I do not have the facility to 'make' these myself and surmise that others out there will have probably manufactured one (or a pair) and now have them sitting around gathering dust. Once the Camber Angle is set, it should not change ... a use-once tool?
Anyway, my question(s) therefore: does anybody have one of these (or a pair) of setting links that they would either consider lending me for a few months, or sell to me? Alternatively, can I buy one (or a pair) retail anywhere?
Many thanks in advance.

I've never come across anyone with a set of these. The approach I've taken is to put sufficient weight in the car to get the ride height correct and if you want to get it spot on then use the measurements from the drawing of the links to get the right distance between the points where you would attach the link.

Maybe you'll find one at the Jaguar spares day in Stoneleigh....
