was able to get some time to pull this crap apart again.

this is how much the lower pin pulled out.




a simple little plate and bolt with some washers on the other side.




not perfect, but should be good enough. the hotchkis strut rods have a nice amount of movement in the heim joint so if it is a little cocked to one side it should be fine. as long as i can get good alignment numbers on this side now i'm happy to move on to the next thing to fix on the car. but zero caster and .25* pos camber wasn't going to cut it.
