Your doing some interesting stuff here. You should be writing a book on how to do it all (or at least tell us how you did it), hope you took lots of photo's along the way.
Just one thing tho. Don't waste your money on Eurocarparts nitrile gloves they're sh1te. The bodyguard ones are a similar price off ebay but are ten times stronger.
 
The rear shafts are too hard to shorten and respline
So going with the cutting and welding option. Not my first choice but it'll either work or it won't.
 
I have figured out my "high steer kit" I believe. Should put track rods back in their original position and stop the need to heavily modify the inner wings and still have problems. Parts are being ordered today. Hope to have pics next week of working prototype.

Maybe I'm gonna get picks of my heavily cut wings and show the problem. Then replace the metal I think and have no problem! I'm sure people aren't going to full lock on full droop to see how badly they catch
 
Sounds good.

As my dear old mum used to say.....
"2 heads are better than 1 - even if they are sheeps heads"
 
Cut wing. Upside down arms. Modified track rod ends. Still catches. Yes I'm going to weld the wing up.
 
Prototype high steer kit. Yes I'm going to brace it to the strut to strengthen it. But this is basic concept. It puts the arm back to its original place so shouldn't need to even cut the wing.
