I use a small square to align their swing, and letting the shanks drop to the rail allows a very close centering over the whippen holes. It does pay to eye-ball the whippen rail boring to see if there are any oddball spaces. This is mainly a 1960's phenomenom. >>Did you have success moving one rail only sometime (without bending the whole frame) ?>> I have never tried to move one rail, but the feet often benifit from a bit of tweaking.
