How much independent trim travel does that arrangement give your drives before a heim joint wants to bind on the washers? Only reason I ask is the V-hull set-ups on the Konrad site have the tie-bars perched on top of the mounting plate... your set-up looks cleaner, just asking about the possibility of binding/ breaking if one drive had to be fully trimmed out (ie. trailer mode) - or the like and the other was trimmed down....

I personally would get rid of the Heim joints and switch to Clevis style joints.

I agree. It'll be fine probably through the trim range. But if one was ever trailered up and the other not, I'd guess they'd bind.
Tie bars are Clevis style (double jointed) just for that reason.

I’ll look into those know is prolly the time to change it. What’s the best way to get the drives straight to set the new bar ?
