Final Results

Something is tweaked with the left fork end, either the legs have different curvatures or the left fork end is brazed out of alignment. Pic 18 shows that both ends are even. But, as soon as I slide the t-bar back the legs are NOT even (pic 19) and this continues all the way up the leg. If I aligned the legs the ends would have been off....a lot. The Var tool ultimately aligns the ends with the crown and steerer which is what you want. I think Jason will find his bike rides much differently than before

Pic 20: The cross bar on the extension simulates an axle, it easily slides into the fork ends like an axle, ends are equaly spaced from center of extension bar.
