Exclamation midwest crossmember doesn't fit HELP!!!

everything else is awesome the torque arm bracket on the rear had to be grinded on the driver side by the back bolt hole a tiny bit.

but the main concern for me is the TSP cross member doesn't line up with the holes, 3 holes are fine and the passenger side front one misses by a good 1/4"

what the hell do I do?

all of the crossmember brackets are fit to a fixture that has worked very well on the current crossmembers. there are bolts installed in the bracket holes on the fixture when the assembly process begins. the bolt holes on the cars aren't exactly in the same location all the time, and occasionally will require a bit of massaging to get one or another to line up. i do not manufacture the brackets with huge oversize holes or slots purposely. there is quite a bit of tolerance in the hole locations on these cars, so a little misalignment here or there is not uncommon. you may need to take a little off of two opposite holes instead of alot from one hole.

so I should just massage the other side a bit for it to all fall in place?

Eric is an awesome guy. You just have to respect someone that follows through with his product the way he does. He truly believes in what he does, and the product he provides, and it definitely sold me on his company now, and in the future.
