We ended up removing the bend they put in the center link and straightening the pitman arm. Everything seems to measure out good now.
Fantastic!!!! Great idea!!!!! I hadn't even thought about modifying this one, I threw in the towel when I found the issue and decided I'd have to build one from scratch, well done guys! You made my day.

Cheers,

EDIT: I also noticed the pitman arm, the issue was probably exaggerated in my measurement due to using Howe's billet pitman arm, it's really short. I have since bought a stock replacement, I don't recall it having the bend like your photo, I'll have to take a look at that.

Oh, and by the way, I agree with you 10,000% regarding the weight penalty for an aftermarket frame. There is no question your car will be faster with your modified front end and 300 pounds less than it would be with the best aftermarket frame out there.
