Center Foot Issues

fig. 1
So I had a bit of a problem here.  I purchased this set of Center Foot Side Details (aka Half-Moons) from a now defunct parts supplier... turns out they didn't fit well. At all.


You can see in fig. 1, the top edges of the Moons should be parallel with floor, or 90 degrees from vertical. As you can see, these are not.  Turns out these are actually about 4 degrees off.

After a bit of work, I have a properly made set ...and now the Half-Moons look correct.  Still not perfect, but much, much better.  :o)

On to the Outer Feet!  (Yep... same problem.)
