If the parts are off the joggle can be reworked in a vise. tape a 1/8 thick piece of on metal opposite sides of the joggled leg so that when you clamp them in the vice and everything if flattened and parallel the angle leg will form a joggle. You may have to experiment with some shims to get the joggle exactly at 1/8 inch. The distance between the ends of the shims (on opposite sides of the angle leg) should be about 1/4 inch apart to allow for the bends of the joggle.

They need to be 1/8" deep to nest properly at the carry thru flange and they are more like 1/16" deep. To compound this there is a serious bulge made by whatever tool was used to make the joggle about 1 1/2" forward of the end. This bulge is going to make quite a bump in the skin if I don't do something about it. Can any of you give me some guidance on how to fix this? About the only thing I've come up with is to saw off the opposing leg of the angle and then bend what's left to fit. Don't think this is such a great idea though.

After practicing a bit I tried it and I think made things a bit better. I did cause some distortion in the opposite flange but can't see how that will hurt. I don't have the quick build. Are you flying yet?
