The front tyres do foul the near end of the lever when on full lock, but I have only noticed this when turning in a confined space at low speeds & have not felt anything of it under road conditions. Up to now no other troubles have come up & the glands are not showing any leaks.
With reference to the 3/8" bolts to the spare wheel carrier support, the bolts which have gone are the same as the 5/16" bolts which went before ie the two holding the rear triangular plate.

These are the two which have gone looking from the driver's seat.
