Front body damage

I’m making some progress. I’m trying to align my 3 new brackets with my good one. I have the right distances between 3 of the 4 but I have too much pressure on the last one. The 2 inner brackets are perfect with the other side. I’m thinking that I need to remove 1/8” on both outer brackets. The degree and angle of the inner brackets are a perfect match.

Should you not have the bigger holes (1.5" diameter) in the outer brackets, to receive the cup washer?

The cups go in the inside brackets. I’m waiting for new cups. I turned down a couple of fender washers and drilled holes in them so I have a solid fit. I sandwiched them between 2 larger washers. I think it’s more accurate than using the cups. This made it easier to get the right distance between the brackets also.
