Clive,

in short - yes they will touch both the bulkhead and the front outrigger on full lock.

You will need to modify the bulkhead (hammer or cut/weld) and restrict full lock or move the outrigger.

My Sammio Spyder had the same problems and although I modded the bulkheads, they still touched the outrigger on full lock. http://www.mysammiospyder.co.uk/theb...012_03_18.html

On my Miglia Speedster, the bulkhead is set further back so that isn't an issue, but the front outrigger is, so I put a couple of sleeves on the steering rack to limit the full lock.

To be honest, it is a little trial and error - my starting point point was based on the look of the wheel/tyre combo that suited the car - then I just made them fit!

Good luck!
