note its the top outer back corner that needs to be flush and grind off the bit that sticks out after welding (even more tricky if you use 2mm wall tube with a larger radius corner)
i lined mine up flush at the top outer front corner and i have had to put packing in

So glad I waited till I had my wishbones, brackets and an accurate jig before I put in U1 and U2, made things so much easier and the bracket sits snug against them. Piece of mind really.
