I use cheap G clamps as weld splatter tends to stick to the threads. As it's a backless jig you'll be able to turn the jig over and weld the other side with out unclamping it. For the top wish bones simply weld another tube lower down,clamp the bush tubes in place as before and tack the threaded tubes in place.
Thats a very good idea. Thanks for sharing.
