The best way to cure the turning radius blues is to dump the Scout knuckles. 
Even with the set-up I went to, turning radius is too wide, IMHO.  I will
probably be changing it to GM knuckles and brakes in an effort to get the
turning radius back to somewhat normal.  I used the Scout parts because they
were handiest at the time and I was under a crunch to get it ready for an event
and not spend too much money.  I had a couple of pairs of GM knuckles sitting
around, but the GM calipers I have would have had to be rebuilt/replaced and
the Scout ones were pretty fresh.
