You need to make sure the tapers are correct first off. Check that the taper on the MX83 and MA61 tie rod ends is the same. If they are the same, great. Then, just get a spacer (like a big washer) made to take up the difference in length just like I did here.

Interesting! I thought of doing something like that but I was worried it might be a bit dodgy. Well I suppose if it works for you it's worth a try! I'll grab some calipers and see if that taper is the same.

Longer control arm? How long is the MX83 one vis a vis the MA61 arm? Adjustable strut tops?

I already have adjustable strut tops, but there's nowhere near enough adjustment to correct that much camber. I'm going to speak to one of the local suspension gurus up here and see what he thinks; if camber pins aren't enough to do the trick, I think longer control arms will be the go.
