QA1 Aftermarket K-member Problems?

Has anyone else out there bought the QA1 K-member? I purchased one and have had it on my car for a few years now, quality is very good. However, there are a few things that are questionable about the design. I changed my k-member without taking the engine out of the car, about a year later I had the engine out and realized that the mounting plate for the steering box seems to be at the wrong angle. The tie rod end seems to be very close to the torsion bar on the driver's side, and the steering column is slid way up in the hole through the firewall. Has anybody else had this experience? Does anybody know where you can purchase the steering box shims? I am using the later style steering box with the big sector shaft, when the K-member is made for cars made from 67-72, but Firm Feel said that there is no difference in the box size or shape between boxes with the big and small sector shaft so I don't see how that would make a difference.
