Question about Alston Subframe Connectors

One of the bolts on the passenger side front is too long. Anyone else have this issue? Its an easy fix by getting some washers or a shorter bolt. Just wondering why a shorter bolt wasn't included
Also the driver side front seems to be at an odd angle. I know the best way is to weld these. I was planning in bolting them in first and welding at a later time. Seems like the bolts don't match up to good due to the angle..Doesn't look like I would be able to be tightened down flat. Anyone else have issues bolting them in?

Re: Question about Alston Subframe Connectors

The bolts are only to hold them in place while you weld them.
You cannot tighten them down tight anyhow and therefore the bolts do no good except
to hold them in place.
