We're not that far off as it sits right now. 1/8" more would probably give me the clearance that I need. Looking at the geometry in the current state, everything looks optimal. Flipping the tie-rod would put it out of alignment with the bars and shaving down the steering arm would make the steering a little rougher but it wouldn't be too much.

You've gone thru all my thoughts currenlty. I was trying to get away from cutting and moving mounts. The hope was there might be something stupid we've overlooked while putting this together. The long drag link should help reduce and bumpsteer condition but moving it relative to the other components would add the possibility.

PS You have my car in your garage!
