Keven had suggested that I use a folded over piece of sandpaper to set toe-in. Depending on the sanding grit (probably greater than 320), I would guess that would put it at about a dime or credit card. I use Grant's trick of hooking a section of innertube around the brake lever to hold it in place while I tighten it down ( http://rivbike.tumblr.com/post/108583281029/eleven-geeky-tips-that-will-ever-so-slightly Tip #11). Has worked so far.
