General TR Adjustable Trailing Arm Brackets, Cheap and Lazy, or clever like a fox?

I listed this under General TR because it applies to TR4A-6 and I couldn't pick all those. Anyway, I just installed the outer Richard Goode trailing arm bracket on the driver's side of my TR250, I didn't completely remove the trailing arm, brake lines etc. Just detached the shock and loosen it up and pry it out. Anyway, I am thinking, what it really the point of installing the inner bracket, I have fully adjustable camber with the outer bracket installed, and I could sell the spare pair to club or if no club interest forum buddies for a good price and they could do the same thing. Only downside I just thought of, if the brackets are not exactly the same dimension as the old brackets as far as how the pivot point is from the base of the bracket I will lose my shim alignment and have to mess with that, But I should be able to measure that get some idea if it is the same. By the way, I know I am cheap, and occasionally lazy, but sometimes it makes sense to be cheap, and sometimes its just being cheap. Back out to the garage, will check back in an hour or so and see if anyone has some nuggets of wisdom to add.
