I can attest to the fact that there is a LITTLE play in the pins on my 2002 Z06 but it’s so slight you more effect on thrust angle than anything else. I’ve loosened and given a diagonal twist of about a 1/16” but that’s about it.

nord lock washers should stop any cradle movement - IIRC 9/16" or M14

as far as the eccentrics go - cant you use a set screw?

What the OP was looking for was based on SCCA AS set up for autocrossing a C5Z. Because of the restrictions he has to work with a cradle shift will help him even out his camber to make it more even. On my C5 the cradle made left rear severely limited in camber adjustment, the most camber I could get was -0.7 deg and the right side would get north of -1.5 deg. After making the ship I could almost make -1.2 on the left side and then matched the right side to it when setting my alignment.
