Question Global West tubular a-arms

Hi guys, I bought some Global West tubular lower arms (#CTA-79L) back in Sept of 2023. It was brought to my attention by a friend that I should check to see if they had any sort of steering stops on them. They didn't, so I called Global West and was told the steering box itself has stops, which I found out later only power boxes do (mine is a manual box). I just got around to installing tires on the car a couple days ago (July 30th, 2024!!) and, yes, the tires do, in fact, hit the frame along with the passenger side brake line being stretched very tight!! I then called up Global West again and they informed me they had never come across that problem and that they had no fix or solution for it. I asked them if I could drill and tap the arms in order to install a bolt for a stop and they said yes. I'm just upset that they didn't let me know this could be an issue. So now I'm on my own to figure out how to retrofit something in there to keep my tires from hitting and the brake line from breaking off!! I'm just wondering if any of you guys have had this problem and how you might have fixed it. I also found out my friend who purchased CPP tubular a-arms had the same problem!!
