I don't care whatever works. Last one I did I welded the bars at the tip where the go into the bracket then put the button head bolt through and cut down the flat nut plate like i included that takes care of the hole too ,nothing to fill. Are you puttin a cross bar in like on the artwork that would be cool.

Coulda swore DN was gonna make the plate then send it to ya.... No rush... I understand everyone is busy busy as am I... May have been wrong time to do this so soon after build off... but not trying to speed through things... I do not think there is a time frame to get it all done... 8)
