Cheap method is to elongate the knock pin hole. Done it. It works. But it's no where as good as a set of adjustable gears. Another way that is cheap is to drill indexed holes like the old TRD method. Indexing the holes requires a fair amount of attention and at least a degree wheel. The slotted pin hole does allow some adjustment. If you are concerned about a positive locating method to prevent slipping, use wire or cut aluminum to make shims. This works really well if keeping a stock appearance is desirable. This pic is of one for an example. Think it was good for 6 degrees or so.
