Wide track installation - steering rack spacers

[Andy69]

Ran into an issue installing the wide track kit on my 1992 Supersport.  
 

Using the provided steering rack spacers the rack is way too long.  I can’t get the wheels anywhere near a drivable angle.  Remove the spacers and there is just barely enough to get the wheels parallel but it only leaves maybe 1/2” of tie rod thread in the end. I don’t think that’s enough. I might be able to get another half inch of travel with the spacers by drilling the holes deeper and tapping, but I don’t think it will be enouGh

 

Anyone else run into this?

First two are with the spacers, second two without.

 

do they make a shorter spacer?

... I believe the issue is misunderstanding 

 

Those spacers go on top of shock tower not steering rack

See below. Just took pics of my car

right is the spacer for the damper (not used because the dampers are the correct length without it)

 

left is the spacer for the tie rod.

 

Did a bit of poking around, seems the fix is to use the spacer but cut a half inch to an inch off the end of the tie rod.

I was going to suggest cutting the spacer. But I think you'll want as much thread as possible there.
