Good eye Glenn. Right is for sure leaning backwards. Left side is facing forward slightly. I've had a shower and was watching TV when I read your post. I jumped up and straight to the shop I go. I had to look for myself. Ended up taking the right side loose and the hole is elongated badly. Moved axle out one hole and it looks right. Will decide on what fix I want tomorrow. May just move both out one hole and realign. Thanks for the eagle eye.

Hi,
Glad you found the problem with the axle.
If you want it at the width it was, ( it usually should be about the same width as the rear is adjusted ), it might work to tighten the clamp good, with the spindle angle set right, and it might hold normally, even with a worn pin hole.
Be sure the clamp bolts tighten enough, sometimes they are rusty, and need removing, and a die run on the threads to clean them up, and a tap run through the nuts.
I would check it after some use, and be sure it is staying at the right angle.
But if you prefer to use another width with good pin hole, that's ok too. :)

Decided to keep the original width. Had the holes welded and redrilled and reinstalled the axle. Wheel now has a slight forward angle and looks just like the left
