I then made a pair of radius rod mounting brackets for the frame. I cut out a couple of 2 1/2 inch long pieces of 1 1/4 inch angle iron. I rounded off the corners to make them look nice, and drilled a half inch hole in them. I then mounted them to the frame, using c-clamps to hold them in place, and I installed the radius rods. I measured everything carefully, making sure that the front axle was square to the front frame cross member, and the the mounting brackets were an equal distance back from the front of the frame. I tack welded them in place. I will finish welding them the next time I have the frame upside down.
