    ***le says it all.
    The front crossmember drawing from the sticky thread is missing the dimension for where the crush sleeves go from top to bottom.

    Anybody know that measurement?

    Don't know the measurement but the last note "bolt holes are located on edge where crossmember changes angle" is the location point. If you draw a straight line from the bottom of the 2 13/16" piece across to the opposite side that gives you the vertical location of the bottom of the holes. Just my seat of the pants guess.

    I thought that last note was in reference to the side to side placement. In the top down view it seems to line up perfectly with that bend

    Hahaha I always thought that diagram was worthless. Maybe this will help. It is the dimensions from mine before removal.
