Default DIY offset trailing arms help

Good evening everyone,

I have been trying to understand how to make these for a while but I cannot understand these instructions for the life of me. It seems all but one picture have been deleted so I have no visual reference. My confusion is how can the new back plate be welded in without cutting out any other pieces? It cant mount to the front of the bushing without it being cut off but they somehow do it. I know that is a terrible explanation but it anyone has pictures or maybe a different explanation of how its done, please let me know.

heres the link to the old explanation

That's an old thread that used to have photos. I'm sure the pics would help a lot!

That was Norval, he was a great guy up in Canada. I have not heard from him probably in 15-16 years, I hope he's still kicking, smart man. Loves horses more than vettes.
