Difficult to say from the photos. But If you trim the existing bracket to clear the bulkhead, but keep it intact as much as possible, then you should be able to fabricate a new bracket bolted to the remnants of the original.

Search on here for Roberts GT17 buil;d thread. His actuator bracket is a work of art. I've made several and they always need some thinking about.

On my Mirage setup the actuator was moved to the other side and mounted to the manifold studs. To do this you need to cut and re-weld the arm on the wastegate to operate in the other direction.

talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

I'd clock that inlet round a bit more, i recon you can use that bracket as is.

I can get some better photos later on but didn't think about re welding the arm to work the other way that maybe best option

If it goes any further round it be touching the exhaust manifold. Tryed doing that while it was on the car gave it enough clearances for a rubber hose to fit in

I have a T2 Garrett which i know is different but I did what Wil_h said by swapping the actuator to the hot side of the turbo. I also used adjustable length engine steadys and leaned the engine forward a bit.

I moved mine onto a bracket up high on the exhaust manifold and extended the arm with a different end and some threaded bar.
