Question Sensor tilt, adjustment

My modified Canon 450D suffers from mild sensor tilt problem...
On top of that, Canon 400mm f2.8 adds it's own amount, at different angle of course.
I would like to solve both problems independently... and start with camera (to eliminate one variable from the equation).

The idea is to build the optical bench for EOS camera, which would allow precise measurement of sensor corners offset relative to the sensor centre (with help of live view).
This may help with sensor tilt adjustment (by inserting thin spacers... btw, where to get them from? Are there available in various thicknesses? Did anybody tried to change the canon's method by using elastic spacers between camera frame and sensor PCB and adjusting the screws?)

I am wandering if someone tried to build something like this?

BTW, I tried CCD Inspector, but the results are inconclusive, so I gave up.
