Hello,
I need some help. I am trying to complete my Sprite big brake conversion.
So far I have the spitfire rotors installed and rebuilt MGB calipers installed. I have machined all the required areas and they do not bind. My problem is when I install the ball joints both wheels are sitting at aprox 1/2 inch of toe out. The ball joints are screwed in as far as they will go. I am using the recommend steering arm spacers from Mini mania. Here is a link.

I rebuilt the rack at the same time, It is like I stretched the rack longer
Any ideas as to what I am missing. I have read that some guys just bend the steering arms out and do not use spacers.
Thanks Phil
