Sounds like the CPP 6 bolt kit I previously ordered. Not only were the holes drilled wrong, and the countersinks wrong, and the clearance wrong, but the bearing adapters in my kit were completely off, and (of course) the steering stop issue. I returned the the whole thing out of disgust.

Sure they're relatively "easy" fixes, but it showed lack of quality control, lack of pride in product, and lack of concern for the customer. One minor issue is forgivable, but that many is insulting.

Imagine my dismay when the new kit I ordered from a completely different company came with a CPP bracket that... surprise! doesn't fit right either.

I'm happy making minor adjustments here and there -- grinding some excess off, but looking at it closer, I'd have to take a chunk of my axle out to keep the caliper from hitting it (not just the triangular knob). So, yeah, I agree.

As for the instructions: http://www.classicperform.com/Instructions/PDF/4759DBK-5.pdf

#5 is where we run into issues ... even AFTER reversing the kingpin locking bolt so it (and the steering stop) is on the front of the axle.

I'm willing to entertain the notion of user error... but I've assembled this thing every way I can think of.
