Not sure if you have sorted the geometry problem but you could always just flip the ball joints round so they enter at the bottom rather than the top.

well it's not quite that simple becuase the ball joints and hubs are tapered so i'd need to drill out the hubs to make them fit in from the bottom but then there wouldn't be that much contact area between the hub and the ball joint spindle.

I've bought teflon rose joints to replace the standard ball joints but keep getting the threads mixed up. so i'm going to have to send them back and get the correct thread.

Hey chris long time no speak lol, hows this coming dude, well i hope, started the dreded revamp on my yellow peril too, but im not sticking a build thread in yet till its complete, hope no one takes it the wrong way but i hate reading 3 to8 pages for no end product lmao, you will hafto call down mate new rims again coilies n stuff, you must be very close to finish.
