just try filing it out 1st (you'll probably then be able to run the bearing the right way up! lol
Another option...
Could you get some blocks made up, one to bolt inside the shock lower mount where the knuckle would to stop it closing up while... you use a block either side with 4 holes in to join the strut and knuckle? This way you wouldn't need to cut the shell or weld the shock, and its completely reversible.
Excuse the blatant image theft, but something like this:

Going for the turret work, starting today :cool:
Looking good Olly! :thumb:

Wish i had the money to build a car like this :cool:
What are the driveshaft angles like running that low Olly?
this last few pages nearly killed my brain with all the thinking lol
Looks good mind. well done
OK, here I come to the rescue to make your life easier again lol.
Instead of having to drastically rework the turret to allow the strut top to move inwards, just grind a slice off the strut tops themselved to allow them to sit further in without fouling the inside of the turret.
As you said, you dont use them to adjust castor anymore so it wont matter if they're no longer round.
MY Dad has given the latest pics his seal of approval Ol...lol.
That looks fan-fapping-tastic dude! Starting to look like a lairy BTCC racer (ish)!
Hope you have no nasty speedbumps between you and Donington though....!
That is AWESOME olly, really love the look of it now :)
