Default Stock scrub radius

Hello. Bumped an old thread in 'under the hood' and got zero response so far. Would like to know if there's a definite source somewhere for the stock front (and rear as well) scrub radius.
Anyone?

Found a bunch of drawings here, but these seem to suggest and inch+ of positive scrub radius up front, which is kinda a lot. Does that sound reasonable?

I get something very close to zero based on those drawings. Remember though that those schematics show the wheel with zero camber -- adding camber makes the scrub radius (slightly) more positive. Also, since this car "likes" a lot of caster, as the steering angle increases, the outside tire's camber increases further, adding a bit more scrub radius. So I think the answer for most S2000s is something in the range of zero to slightly positive scrub radius.

Yeah, I screwed up, look like zero.
Thanks for weighing in.
