jeff02740, I believe the "inner mounting plates" you refer to are what Bristol call the "fulcrum brackets" which you can see numbered 2&3 in this diagram .

In the diagram it's hard to see why the fulcrum brackets are required, given the neat holes in the subframe which the 'upper wishbone bolts' pass through (see Resources - Front suspension wishbones ).

However, in some cars I believe those holes in the subframe are in fact elongated. I think they are on my 411 but I can't find the photos from when the front end was rebuilt 20 years ago.

If your subframes do not have elongated holes, it is hard to see how the camber could change. Maybe it's always been like that.
