Hi Glen,
the car has never been biffed, it has only done 1 km or so on the road in its entire life so far. It is a manufacturing defect.
If I was to shim out the bottom arm somehow the RHS wheel would ultimately stick out further than the left side.
I know in my heart that any bodgey fix its will affect the bump steer and suspension workings, so really relocating the bracket is the option.
I guess I just needed confirmation of this.

I just made a call to Frank from Gerada Engineering in Capella and as luck would have it he and his lovely wife both own cobras and are heading out this way for lunch. His workmanship is impeccable and if he suggests cut and re-glue it back on that is the way I will go. Talk about good timing with the phone call.
I will go measure up the shock mount and hope it doesnt need to be moved also.

If he turns up I will take and post a pic of his car.
