Does anyone have any experience of fitting a minispares rear beam and KAD radius arms?

 

I have the beam fitted, but when trying to fit radius arms the inner end of the radius arm hits the beam and prevents fitting of the second mounting bracket. 

 

It also looks like if I could get it to fit the radius arm would not then pivot...?

 

Any help greatly appreciated!

i seem to remember people having to bash those alloy box section beams about a bit to get things to fit. but that was pre KAD IIRC which is one reason i had my own custom one built.

Had another go at it this afternoon. Fitting outer bracket first and then inboard one. Got it on, but radius arm rubbing against beam and that is before I bolt everything up tight! Annoying thing is, this shell had a Minispares beam and KAD arms on it previously, so was expecting everything to be a simple refit........how wrong I was!
