The radius arm wouldn't fit in the o/s, because the gap was a few mm too tight, I didn't want to file the KAD bracket, so I just opened it up with a portapak. It just pushed the inner subframe web in a little.

No not yet, although I think it's back from line boring, so shouldn't be too long.

I had an identical issue when fitting KAD arms, I opted to machine the arms to fit.
