1951 F-1 Steering Stop Required..any ideas?

Hey guys it looks like the toyota P/S conversion has quite a bit more spin to it and the drag link seal kit will rip up the tire if I turn tool hard left....any ideas or solutions you guys have used? I thought about a grade 10 large Bolt to just stop the Pitman arm from moving. what do you think?

Take a look at your kingpins, I think there is a factory steering stop already in place.
It seems to me there is an adjustable bolt on the kingpins that acts as a stop. Take a look at this pic, right above the nut for the steering arm and the lower shock mount, at the area right at the end of the axle at the kingpin....I think that is the steering stop
