Default Re: tie rod hitting the front radius rods

I'm putting together a front end for an AV8 with an unsplit wishbone. I made the wishbone up with the center section from a Model A and the two legs came from an ugly '48 wishbone. The '48 wishbone legs are kicked way up in the front. With a stock axle, I'm pretty sure there'd be no clearance issue at all (later spindles.) I have a dropped axle and i'll have to drop the arms just an inch or so.

Looking at the picture Terry supplied, it looks as if those steering arms are already dropped way down low. He might want to consider running the tie rod OVER the wishbone legs. Of course, he'll have to make sure there aren't any issues with the front crossmember, pulleys or whatever else may be in the way.
