how would you do that and have the axle run though a cocked bearing and seal??? cant see that working

No idea, afaik it can't be done on the later model commodore borg warner diffs, only the 10 bolt salsbury's.

been testing the camber kit i made up it works and makes the car feel heaps better in corners just needed to modify it slightly and add some extra bits because it was crewing out axle seals being on that angle it worked better then a caster wedge

Another consideration is what you are doing to the location of the inner axle. If I've figured it right, you are lowering the CV in the knuckle, which will force the inner axle down, taking out inner axle seals and loading the side gears in the diff.
