Working on a series 2 here and looking for a bit of advice on the strut alignment. There's a few pictures below where I hope you can see that the gap between footboard and panel is large, and on the 3rd picture perhaps that the footboard needs to come out (i.e. the strut is bent in).
Is it just a case of bending out the support strut with a large lever or something similar? I've put a straight edge from front-to rear as per Stickys book and it's nothing like level.
The middle strut is perhaps also a bit low & has had some repair work in the past (but not a full replacement as far as I can tell). I was thinking of getting the rear one about right, then looking at the middle, & then putting the leggies on to make sure everything lines up, does that sound like a reasonable approach?
The frame tube itself seems good based upon measurements & comparison to another S2 frame I have.
