I seem to remember reading some of the missing posts & believe that the lower wishbone arm measurements are a tad over long to allow plenty of material for notching the mitres.

The first set I made needed a bit of trimming from my tubes

Provided the jig is made to the book measurements, trim away untill it is a good fit.
The wishbone will end up to the book spec.
