Default Scrap the steering lock limiter.

I have to report that the steering lock limiters were not a success. They were too loose on the shaft for safety even after some adjustment with a hacksaw, so I have abandoned this approach. The instructions clearly state that they should be a tight fit at the end of the rack, or they could slide and possibly jam the steering travel.

Back to the drawing board with tyre sizes. I see Davecymru has 165/65/15's, and still experiences some scrubbing at full lock. Is this on the chassis rail or the bulkhead?

Has anybody out there actually fitted a tyre on a 15" front wheel that does not touch the chassis under the pedals / battery box?

I would be grateful to know of practical results, other wise I think the solution will be trial fitting some scrap tyres from the local garage until I find a combination that works.

Our bulkheads are already modified and don't seem to be the problem.

Look foward to hearing your experiences guy's.
