JeffZZZ: that friction of torqued down bolt is strong enough. Just like wheels, they are not held in place much by resting on hub axle in center, even hubcentric ones, they are kept in place by friction of properly torqued lugnuts, which is enough to keep in place even with hits that can damage wheel itself.
Most using crashbolts (normal bolts, but simply smaller then hole) adjust them by simply setting them at maxed out position, eased if car weight rests on wheel, then just torque it. Fine adjustment usually is done by other means, as imho it's rather PITA to undo bolt, skew wheel somewhat, torque back again, measure, then redo .. lobed camberbolts that change camber gradually by turning, or camberplates, imho are easier for fine adjustment.
