There are shims that can be had to fix this.  Don't know where to find  though.

Van's has shims for the RV-8 flat bar gear.  I assume he has them for the round-leg gear too.

I'm  not sure they have them for the round leg gear as the axel is part of the gear  leg.  The axels on the flat gear legs bolt on, thus they can be  shimmed.

Toe -in of main gear legs on a RV-6A is determined  by the gear leg weldment and the indexing of the retaining bolt in the gear  leg/weldment. On my 6A,  the holes in the gear legs and the weldments were  done by Van's. The only way the toe-in on the mains could not be  right would be the installation of the weldment. (Unless Van's goofed when  drilling either piece. 

  

 How far off is the right gear? Any shiming would  have to be between the gear leg weldment and the fuse.
