So as you can see I will need to bend the steering arms.
Search up my require high heat and a torch I will have to wait until next week in order to pull it off.
I will use the other steering arms as an aid to know how far to bend the units so that that will work without issues.
The steering arms do appear to be ferrous steel therefore not stainless even though it looks like stainless.

Brake alignment using these brackets actually seem to center the caliper on the brake rotor perfectly.
Thinking using the other brackets would make it difficult to center the rotor to the center of the caliper. ??
Planning to clean the whole area up tomorrow and try the other version to see if I can make it work.
Also need to try to judge how much of the caliper will need to be sanded in order to get the wheel on the car, might be requirement to use a spacer?

Jeff,

Yes, you will need to bend that arm, way to close for comfort and will rub at some point.

regarding the calipers, it is just a lot of trial and error getting them ground down to the right size one the tips. I would suggest making sure that you spin the wheels fast after you think that you have the right amount of material removed, as you may notice a difference and some more contact with the wheel moving more quickly after you have done it slowly. Remember to look on the inside of the wheel for rubbing, in addition to one the caliper. Some paint or marker one the tips will help notice small areas of concern.
