Modification of K-member idler arm mount advice

I ended up scrapping the jig and with the help of my dads friend (who has built many many cars) we located the idler arm and mount by carefully taking a of of measurements. We have sure the distance between the pivot points of the idler and pitman were the same along with a bunch of other measurements. The mount is now located in a way that looks totally normal/original.

I'm still not sure exactly what the issue was, maybe the k member that was in the crash was more warped than expected or that using the steering box bolts was not ideal in this case. From measuring, it seems like the tolerances from factory are not that good to start with, hopefully the car will drive well when I get it on the road in a year or two.

Thanks for the help! :thumbsup:
