    I need to limit the left hand turning radius on my Mark vii. The tire will rub on the passenger up pipe. I don't see an easy way to do that. Any help appreciated thanks.

    Aren't there stops on the LCA? They might be just a cast wedge, but you could drill and tap or weld/braze... what about a hammer on the turbo pipe?

    ive drillled a hole in the spindle stop. Weld a 3/8 nut on the back side. Run a bolt thru and and adjust where needed. Then weld or locktite the bolt in place.

    Worst case you can change the offset of the front wheel’s specs to move the rim further out without changing the wheel size or tires, but you have to buy new front wheels :(

    edit: or add a nasty spacer…
