Question A-arm support brace question

Okay, so I've doing my suspension and things. Got my driveshaft loops on, and have moved to the forward end. Strut tower brace was a snap and clearance is not an issue, even though I was waiting for it to be. Problem is, besides FORD Kindly chisteling the heads of the 18mm bolts, where you have to conect this Is that where it bolt's up, is concave and convex. My A-arm support is flat. Do I need to worry about the not so good fit? All my other Granatelli stuff is fine. Are all A arm brace's flat? and if so how do know it's on good enough, or even right. I don't have impact wrenches.

i just put a granatelli a arm brace..the bolts that you use are torqued at 250 ft lbs..you need a big impact gun and large wrenches..it looked like it would be difficult doing on ramps..it need s to be done on a lift,r u sure you have it lined up right? it only goes on 1 way..front end feels tighter in turns..its all good..

Really?
I could have sworn it was about half that.
Where did you get that torque number from?

I think it is 129 lb/ft.
