Default H22 traction arm fitment problem

I just did a h22 swap into an 91 ef, everything is done but now I ran into the control crossmember problem hitting the crank pully on the driver side, what is the sulltion for this problem? i've search but found nothing about a traction bar or crossmember that clears the crank pully. ive heard to get a place racing crossmember but don't know where to find one, and also a radius rod too. thanks guys

I've just going off of what I've with my own two eyes.......but I do have to mention that the car is pretty low. I'm sure if he raised up the a little bit it would help.

ohhhh, that cleared your crank pulley? interesting i'm going to have to try that. also what is that weld look-a-like thing? did you only have one bolt in place and had to weld the other onto the lower control arm?

There are only two bolts holding the rod to your lower control arm. The goop on top of the threads of the closest bolt is just rust-check.

The threads you see squeezed in between the first bolt and the LCA is just a piece of a short nipple i cut off to give the rod something to squeeze against.

I have the Explicitspeed bar. Ive used it on a 91 si with an H22 H2B swap with no problems. I now have it on a lowered 91 HF with a K20 with no problems.
