Default Front suspension

I'm a bit p##sed off with this whole project. Making a template for the ali sides so put the front suspension on with the rack and steering connected.

First issue is rack fouling the bottom suspension arm on full lock. I saw a pic somewhere recently of bottom wishbones that were bent to get round this. How do other people get round it.

Second issue I've noticed is the transit drag link is stopping the suspension going all the way up when the shocks not fitted . That means that on heavy compression the drag link is being stressed rather than the shock acting as the stop. Seems to me the angle of the threaded tube in the top wishbone is wrong. I got the wishbones from Phil@talon so I'm sure they'll be right to the book.

Any thoughts. I'm going to a christening so probably won't be fit to answer till tomorrow morning.
