"Science the s**t out of it"so something like this then? Varnished Cold-pressed steel Equal L-shaped Angle profile, (L)1m (W)27mm | DIY at B&Q
The good Lordeth gaveth you a braineth in your gourd. You figure it out.
Make it work. Then make it pretty. It ain't-a-gonna'-lick-itself.
I can think of 47 ways to get the preliminary alignment done.
Screw the L-shaped stuff. That's why God gave us washers and spacers.
Mine works perfectly from 131 W all the way out to 30 W.

so drill holes like this? (found on satsuk)
this quote was attached:
"In the UK the extenders need to be at the top, which is why I needed to drill the 2 holes. I hope this makes it clearer."
"I have altered aceb's photo to show you where I had to drill the holes.
In aceb's photo he has switched the bottom bracket, with the top, so although the arrows are drawn on the top bracket, on my motor, and those shipped, this bracket is at the bottom, tha same as you currently have it set up."
"The blue arrows are where the original holes are, the red are where I drilled new holes, in the silver bracket, about half way between the original and the front of the bracket. This solved all my problems as I could then fit the original, stronger, bolts, and the adapter plate fitted as it should.
This motor seems to be for the American market and so the extension brackets, as used in America, would go on the bottom, and not the top, which means they would have no problem in the USA. In the UK the extenders need to be at the top, which is why I needed to drill the 2 holes.
I hope this makes it clearer."
