This week I rough cut and drilled the cross tube end plates, tack welded them in place and trimmed the cross tub to match. The more I use my saw-z-all the more I like it! The mounting holes for the steering knuckle are tilted from vertical to set the caster of the steering to 12 degrees. Later the end plated will be trimmed to an oval shape around the small holes, but for now I decided to leave them untrimmed so that I can use the edge as a reference point for aligning tube tube to vertical when I weld it to the main tube.
Here is a pic with the rod ends that make up part of the steering knuckle stuck in to see how it looks.
