Default 6 degree Sierra/Escos beam

Ok, I understand this beam business I think. The stock rear STA pivot angle has X degrees forward cant with the stock STAs. I'm unsure of this angle, maybe I should measure it. LOL. The front/outside pickup is shifted back a bit along with a bit of STA hacked off with a nice rod end welded in. The inboard pivot/bush location is pushed forward quite a bit with a good chunk of meat added to the inner STA pivot length but with a rod end added for adjustability. Correct?

Now I'm not here to step on anyone's toes that makes these. I'm an accomplished welder and fabricator and really like suspension bits such as this and would like to do my own with a spare rear beam/sta and making a jig. Shipping a beam and STAs from the UK is just not a viable option for me. Just trying to map out any misconceptions I have about this.

I've done a fair amount of jigging and think this would be a good project for myself.
