The easiest way to overcome this problem is to swap the struts to the other side of the car,ie the strut that usually goes on the left hand side goes on the right hand side & vice versa. The caliper then goes ahead of the stub axle instead of behind. There is no problem with doing this brake effort or effect wise, & no advantage other than it clears the tie rod end. It's the way most big brake conversions have to be done on 1200's & 120Y's. Just make sure the bleed nipple stays to the top of the calpier so the air can get out when the brake's are bled.
