Help - Quick Steering Arms Won't Align

[Frank Starr]

Greetings All -

I'm assemblying the front end of my 55C, everything all nicely painted black. I've installed a set of quick steering arms. Now when I try to install the tie rods, which connect the arms to the steering bellcrank, the tie rods are too long, no matter how I adjust them. I'm at a loss.

Has anybody run into this? What's the answer?

Cut & weld, or heat & bend.
