Default suspension brackets

Hello Davie,

Just an idea that has helped me.
I had the brackets laser cut and bent at a local workshop.

In the drawing I made the holes 5 mm in diameter. So before welding them on I decided with the help of the jig where the holes had to be. Some were milled a few millimeters offset.
I recall in the forum a discussion of having to weld a plate of 2 mm between bracket and chassis. So in my way I made a small detour around this problem.

You can also start from rectangular section rails 40 x 40 and 50 x 50 and cut the shape "already bent" . The weld of the tube is the side to be cut away though.
