This is where we do things a little different. When we build the C notch in the frame rails, the front and rear angle inserts are welded from the bottom of each rail, past the horizontal cut that forms the C notch to the inside face of the top of each rail.  Whooooa, read that again slow and take a look at the picture.  Remember at this point the frame is again upside down.

 I hope you could see what I tried to explain in that last picture!  After the angled inserts are welded in place we fit a horizontal piece to finish the C notch fabrication. That is welded in place. Check the picture and you see the fully welded C notch before grinding.

 Grind the welds and roll the edges, all around the C notch. If you need to fill any low spots do it with weld and regrind. Check the photo.

When you have finished the grinding of both C notches you should be able to look through the C notches and front cross-member like the picture, from one side through to the other side.

 After all that work, let’s see the what the spring looks like in the new C notches. These pictures tell the whole story. It lays over the C notch just right.
