Have cut my SW1 using the (40) and (23) degree angles for the RHS.

So do SW1 and 2 definately meet end to end at 25 plus 25 degrees?

Also, does SW1 attatch to the top or side of TR2?
Seen a couple of variations in plans...

i attached mine to the top but others have put it to the side, i think so that body work can fit nicely. but i guess i'll find that out when i get my bodywork!

Right, got fed up and made a wooden jig! Went much better but did involve holding 4 things at once...

Attatched SW1 to the top with SW2 attatched, got it positioned (eventually!) and made SW3 to fit. When looking from the side SW1 and 3 are about 2 degrees different but this should be easy to accomodate when I put the steering supports in place.

Thanks for the help guys, and for anyone who gets to this point: Make a Jig!!
