Huh, so simple, I think you are onto something. Just trying to figure out why I haven't thought of that.

Anthony, can you bolt up a wheel, and go full lock to the right? I have the extended axles and B4 wheel, but get just the slightest bit of interference with the ball cup at full lock.

Front end will be too wide with long #7222 axles.
To have it race legal you need #6220 axles with old 3/4" wide wheels... or #7459 axles and narrowed B4 wheel.
Or then I have to make shorter arms for you...

EDIT: This was wrong information. Axle #7222 and B4 front wheels are spot on right and race legal. Sorry.

It okay I have the wide axles, I should be racing with a handicap anyways, people say I'm "special" so it all balances out

Just did it and yes, the castor block ball cup interferes with the wheel.

This thing is coming together quite nicely. Looks like I need to order some short FT turnbuckles. I used some B4 ones for the front, but had to trim the castor block turnbuckles about a 15mm. The rears weren't even close, but I had a random short one I used for mock up. I need to order 4 all together, the steering arm and bellcrank turnbuckles and the 2 rear turnbuckles.
Here are the electronics that are hopefully going to be installed. Got some white/orange/blue wires to match my paint scheme.

Or a vertical camber ball stud and steering blocks with slightly different geometry (don't ask how I know
)

I was thinking to narrow the front wheel by cutting the inner part of the wheel off.
