Jase,
I'll measure mine tonight and let you know how long I made the vertical struts. 1.5 sounds about right be millimeters count for this layout for sure. I'm pretty sure I lined the tops of the tubes up to the top surface of the A frame thing.
Looking at your pics I think I see the issue you have identified. If you look at the second picture you posted looking down the length of the bottom of the shuttle... the tubes are sitting beyond the edge of the round opening in the "egg" things. This could be the angle of the photo but it seems different than the front view in the old black and white picture.
I'll see if I can mark up a picture so it makes sense.
Ok, so I attached a picture. My thought is that the vertical struts and pads might move inboard to match the red lines similar to this front view of the studio model.
Here's mine....Kind of hard to see here....looks like the front and rear are different. This is my first time doing this.. so.....maybe ignore what I said.
