Shim size per 1° caster change?

Does anyone know what thickness shim would affect caster by 1 degree? I'd just like to know how many degrees I'll actually be adding before I go stuffing a handful of shims on the forward studs to increase caster.

It depends on distance between a-arm shaft bolts and spindle height. Probably 1/8" shim will change around 1/2 degree at the most.
