Needing a little guidance on the front top hat and the outrigger alignment.

Are they suppose to be flush or offset? If one side is flush then the other ends up about 1/2 out.

All of the original were so badly rusted/missing that I have no reference point

They should be flush. Top hat should be same length as the I beams, 1470mm. Front outriggers should be 365mm long. New parts are often off a little.

Make sure the hole in the center for the shiftrod tube is correct and fix the outer sides as needed.
