Danny,
Check your lower control arms and be sure that there is a triangular tab on the forward arm on left and right sides. This is a mounting point for a stabilizer bar used on the Triumph but the Marcos only used the bar on racing cars and not street cars. It must be on the forward arm to locate the wheels in the correct location.
The 2 pics are the best I can do without removing the wheel liner. the1st is the left side from the front lookong aft and the other is the right side.
You might not be able to see what I am trying to show you and my car is the steel frame 1970, but the attach points are similar.
 

Best Regards, 
Larry

Hello folks,
 
Happy Friday the 13th.
 
 
Here’s a bit of a mystery hopefully some of the smart ones on the list can help solve.  After lining up the bonnet on the car and installing the front suspension, there are major clearance issues.  I sending a long a few pictures to show how too far to the front the wheel is is the fender opening.  When pointed straight ahead I can’t even insert a finger into the tightest part of the gap.  And that’s without the weight of the engine and transmission which are still out of the car.  Its so far forward that on almost full lock, the wheel runs under the headslight housing and trie to push the hood up.   It was close when I took the car apart 30+ years ago, but not this bad.  What have I done wrong????  All suggestions for a fix are most welcome.
 
Danny
