I've been trying to figure out how to do it (simulating on my 3D software), but each time you turn the tube, or/and change an angle, the complete geometry is modified, and then the suspensions brackets (I mean the axis) will lot have the correct position. Can't figure out how you did it. Do you have any drawing, 3D views, sketches, dimensions and angle cuts you can send me please ? Otherwise I will leave it like in the book, and pack the gap, as it looks like the majority of builder do.
Thanks.
