So I'm putting a front brake conversion kit on my '53 3100 and the cpp disc conversion bracket hits the steering stop that prevents the axle spindle from going "too far" in either direction.

If i mount the caliper behind the wheel (recommended) I can no longer turn.

I pulled the stop off to see if I can reverse it -- not without some drilling and tapping...

So my options are:

A) mount the caliper in the forward position (in front of the wheel)
B) take my axle off and flip it around

A is obviously simpler... But are there major concerns with this?
As for b... Are the steering stops usually on the front of the axle? And if so, is there another compelling reason why I should consider flipping the front axle around?
