On the escort MK3 rs1600i they used adjustable tie bars in place of the anti roll bar to permit castor adjustment, with the roll bar attached back to those tie bars with clamps. As our tie bars are all wiggly(highly technical term there :-) ) they might be tricky to modify but some custom ones may be possible if you could just shim as Jim suggests.
