Default Wishbone probs....

Hi Talon,
Well I started drawing the front lower wishbone jig today and have the following problems.

1, The position of the hole in the lower wishbone ball joint plate has no measurement from the end of the plate or how much the plate angles up.
2, The front lower wishbone plate has no measurement for the hole from the edge of the plate or diameter.
3, No measurement from the centre of the ball joint hole to end of threaded inserts or how long the inserts are.

If you study the drawing and photos of the wishbone in the jig on their website the two are not the same. Look carefully at the angled tubes you will see in the drawing they fall short of the inner wishbone plate yet on the photo the plate falls short of the tubes.
The jig has been altered to the drawing so I am really confused now.

Basically I tried drawing the wishbone and the jig and they didn't marry up.
Not yet looked at the other wishbones in case I'm being thick or something.

I know its critical to get these right so I've left them alone for the moment until I get advice. I was wandering if anybody else had the same problem and how they got over it.

Thanks for your interest Talon could you help?
