My Alpha gen 2 seems to not want to accept a trim tab the standard mc triangular tab either touches the prop(14.5x18 4 bl) or just clears(15x17 3 bl) I need a tab to compensate for torque now that Ive dumped my power steering,cant figure out what Im doing wrong. As well, with the tab cranked hard over(thats why the clearances are so tight)Ive still got too much steering torque.And yes it is turned the right way. The torque is pulling to left(hard steering to right) and I have rear of tab pointed left to compensate.Im running 220 hp 5.0 litre so not excessive power I wouldnt have thought.
Need some suggestions here.
