In the end he got the shape close enough but had 20 mm offset more than we requested leaving us a minimum caster of 12 degrees. A costly disaster.
Thank you all very much for your suggestions.
Sorry mate, for some reason I thought you had a Harrison - obviously Harrison top arms are not a viable solution.

An electric rack seems like a complicated way to deal with excessive castor. Can't the engineer correct his mistake and remove 20mm from the offset?
