Fully weld the cross brace, let it cool then weld the bottom plates on the roll bar.
This should limit the amount of shrinkage and the pita it is to align the bolt holes!!

This worked like a charm. Once I had fully welded everything else but the base plates there was no way I would have got all bolts in. cut the tacks and re positioned them all and it fits like a glove.

Glad to get you going on it again TT. I added crush tubes to the bottom of the struts so I can bolt them up good and tight with some M12 x 60 bolts rather than the 70mm ones showing here..



And Johno, I catch up on my sleep at work.....
