Mark Saunders had the same issue on his windle and had Tony Baker move the front end over about 2inches to the right as you look at the sidecar from the rear wheel.We also run a 10 inch rear. Problem sorted.

I'm trying to picture how you could move the front wheel 2 inches to the right. Did it involve cutting out the down tubes from the headstock and re-welding to move the steering pivot over?
Then going up from a 9 inch rear to a 10 effectively then reduced the front to rear offset by 1.5 inches?
Do you know what the resulting offset is now Lisa?

Already had a 10 inch tyre in the back Dave.
I will have to find some photos of the before and after alterations, yes the pivot point was moved over and there was some cutting and re-welding of tubes.
Mark said it handles fantastic around lefts.
