Default Chassis returns

Saturday morning I got the chassis back. As usual, it wasnt ready when I arrived to get it. One weld repair, and the holes for the two pintle brackets were not done. Despite me providing a photo, the guy that made the cross member fabricated it the way they do for large trucks and not as per the clear photo I had supplied.

I am grateful that all the holes line up, and after I did an awful lot of cleaning, smoothing and etch priming, I tightened the bolts and checked the chassis alignment. Almost dead straight!

Photos will follow when I get back to my computer. This portable device doesnt shrink the photo size easily.
