Opinions on what's better?
1) Bending the rod to make it fit to the flapper?
or
2) Cutting the arm in half, threading it, and having adjustability?

Yeah. Just cut the rod, put it in a vise, and used a cheap Harbor Freight 1/4-20 external die. A pair of couplers, some jam nuts, and a piece of 1/4-20 threaded rod and I have an infinitely adjustable WG arm.
