Hello 22 boomer,
The little wood fixture piece for the alignment of the rear fitting and the reduced size triangular handguard section was still in my toolbox !!! It is simply a piece of 1 3/8 inch diameter wood dowel, 3/4 inch long and cut in half... like a very fat 1/2 moon key. I made mine using a holesaw and a piece of 3/4 inch thick oakwood flooring.
This little lump of wood helps keep that rear fitting in position as it bonds to the inside of the cut down handguard shell. Position is VERY important. I suggest drawing a centerline on a sheet of paper and placing the little wood slug squarely on the centerline with a dab of white glue etc.
Some plastic food wrap over the guide will help keep the JB Weld from getting stuck to it.
