The left and right caliper brackets are essentially identical, apart of course from the positioning of the four holes that bolt them to the stubaxle assembly. I positioned the caliper ar the front and it just clears the tie rod end as you say, and is almost up against the king pin.
I used an allen bolt at the top to make it easier to get at it. I found that when I re-drilled the bracket in that position two of the holes were uncomfortably close to the edge, and one interfered with an existing hole. I therefore welded up all four holes, and welded two ears onto the bracket. I've got some pictures if you want. I also chnged the rear drums to Amazon spec drums, which are not the bendix self servoing type, to reduce rear brake lockup. At present it runs standard rear linings, EBC greenstuff front pads and no rear limiting valve. I think it could do with a limiting valve but it is within the bounds of acceptability. I'm going to fit a servo soon, and will do the limiting valve at the same time.
I agree the drums feel nicer, but the need accurate adjustment tostop them pulling left or right. And despite my best efforts the drums suffered badly from fade in extremis
