Ran out of Toe In adjustment - Suggestions?
After rebuilding the rear suspension, front suspension, steering components, converted to a Granada disc brake kit, added Rosehill strut rods, BaerTracker bump steer kit - the only thing left to do is install the dual master brake cylinder, all in one distribution/proportioning valve. The s/s brake lines are installed, now I just have to figure out how to get the spaghetti mess in the engine compartment neatly arranged.
I have one big concern right now though – the toe in/out adjustment that can be made on the Baer tracker bump steer kit has run out of toe in adjustment. I have it cranked all the way to its shortest setting but eyeballing it very closely on both sides it looks like it still needs more toe in - justa hair more. I'd like to have more available just because I don't want to be up against the stops when it is in correct alignment.Here are some suggestions as to correcting the problem:
1.) Shorter tie rods that the threading goes farther up the rod
2.) Cut of ¼” on each side of the center adjustment tube
3.) Thin the lock nuts that lock tight against the center adjustment tube
The car is a '65 Mustang and somewhere I remember reading that this might be a problem on 65/66 Mustangs but the writer thought that it wouldn't be... whoops...

Thanks guys - just got an e-mailresponse back from Day at Daze Cars and he said the same thing. Major thanks for the help! Now I know when I am cutting a little bit off the adjuster that I don't have to wince & worry while doing so...
