Thank you! I must admit I had some help. Brett over at
www.fab53.com gave me a hand with it. With the car level we used long square tubing to extend outward over each axle and made sure each were perpendicular to the car. we checked against reference points on the body that had not been removed. from that we were able to measure the bars front to back, then side to side and diagonally across. We also used "plumb bobs" (a string with a weight) to measure against. be sure they aren't swinging!
It was a lot of measuring, re measuring, then measuring again later. The numbers were consistent. (unless we were consistently wrong??) The nice thing about the DSE rear is I can still make adjustments to the axle location by adjusting the thread depth on the tubular links. I hope this is helpful.
