suspension brackets again !!!!!

[Bonzo]

Here is a very rough sketch of what I mean



On the left is the intersection point of the front frame as I made it

On the right is the way I could have made the front frame.
The slightly different angles & increased width of the lower front frame section would have closed the gap that I had to pack out

I must state at this point .... This is only my own personal observation & will be the way I make my next front frame.

Perhaps I may be completely barking up the wrong tree but it would have been the ideal solution to my particular problem & provided a near perfect fit for my suspension brackets

When I said rough sketch .... I meant it

thanks alot for clearing that up for me Ronnie, i realy apresiate it & the drawing did help alot . i think i saw this problem when i was making my front fram( for the third time) & hopefully the corection i made which is simmular to what you did in the drawing will help & if i understand corectly the gap you´re talking about would be on the inside so the bracket is touching the rail on the outside corner(in the front) & then there would be a small gap towards the back, i think .maybe i´ll take some photos & post them here to try to show what i mean.
thanks for all the help

I actually cut my front frame while it was still tacked on and remade it on a jig with "brackets" mocked up.

In the end it did not help. Probably due to the height of brackets being 1-2 mm out of spec. My jig was just two pieces of MDF with carefully measured and drilled holes. Worked quite well:

Hi I have come to fitting the front brackets and was wondering is it ok that 6 of brackets have to packed out 3mm each. I have checked my measurements a 100 times and they seemed spot on. Just need reasurance before I tack them up

I can't see that there would be a problem with that as long as your jig is correct
