Weird bits on radius arms??

Hi,
For some reason unknown to me, whoever had the car before me has welded on these extra bits onto the radius arm mounts, my question is, once i put my supeflex arms in, will these affect the way they work, do the radius arms pivot at all in these brackets ( as in will it hit side to side)?

I will however have to grind off that block of steel thats welded onto the side as the plates that come with the arms sit flush with the brackets do they not?
Cheers

on the PS get rid of the extra crap, mainly the stuff that makes it wider than STD. the new plates bolt to the outside of the stock brackets, if i remember correctly.

without better pics from behind the diff, i'd suggest they are caster correction plates welded into place and "shouldn't" affect the operation of any arms if fitted correctly - of course depending on the arms but i suspect any common type of arm should be fine.

Not sure what you're refering to "block of steel"... if its that tab on the outiside maybe 20mm square - i'd say that just gusseting for the plate mounting strength.

Sorry just read - "Superflex" as in Superior Engineering - yup agree with above - chop it off and clean em up.
