Finally got my barn up and going and car gear out of storage so I am getting back into my 410 project.
A couple of snags I have just hit which I would like some opinions on
1) Due to where the cross member extends to, there is risk of fouling the brake line where it enters the caliper if you were to hit a bump on full lock. The easiest way to address this is to mount the caliper up the otherway which means the bleed nipple will face downwards. I understand this isn't ideal, but is there any sort of legal/cert issue with it?
2) I had planned to use hubcentric spacers on the front hubs to help clear the calipers, however the hub extends so far at a relatively wide diameter that even using the thickest certifiable spacers (27mm) the ID of the hub centric lip that the wheel will sit on fouls on the OD of the hub. I'd rather avoid modifying the hub as I think it will lead to more issues. So my question becomes, will I be able to get mags that can clear a caliper that sits about 50mm proud of the top hat on the rotor? I have included some pics to demonstrate the issue. You may ask why I used 4 pot calipers - the reason is two pot and single pot calipers I tried protruded too much at the rear of the caliper, fouling on the cross member and/or suspension setup. This is also why I used an evo rotor which has a relatively low top hat. I guess my alternative would be to look at some after market calipers such as wilwoods, which may have a lower width.
Pictures: Maybe something like this would clear?

Keen for any thoughts/ideas.
