Bolt them all up so that they are in the correct position on the housing, then weld them on. DO NOT weld them in one continuous bead or you will warp the housing!!! I would recomend no more then 1" of weld on each bracket, then let everything cool off before you weld more.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
