M16 spacer kits

Hi

Just fitted spacers and vented rotors to my 1979 rs2000. After fitting the rotors I have found that the right hand rotor rubs on the tie rod end dust boot the left hand rotor clears ok. I have swapped rotors for side to side with no change. Any body got any clues.

Cheers

    Rs motorsport forum has touched this subject.
    I think you can get smaller diameter tie rod ends. They do run close to the rota. Or the arm on the strut is bent.

    Cheers mate I will have a look for it. It only just rubs the rubber boot not hitting the tie rod end it self. Do you know where you can get the tie rod ends by any chance.

    Yeah cool thanks for that. I don't mind buying new tie rods they could do with replacing any way.

    I've searched RSM, does any one know what or where to get the small diamtere tie rod ends. I've got clearance issues and this seems the most practical approach. Appreciate any help..

    I emailed smcka and they are getting in some tie rod ends and he is going to email me the measurement of them to compare. I will let you know what I find.
