Oh Darrell, I feel your pain.

To tell the truth, the gusset kit is a waste of $$$. Use the template
(attached to this email) and have your welding shop make up 4. It is cheaper
and they may have to tweek them anyway to get them to fit well.

The welding is a pain, but a good shop should be able to get you back on the
road quickly.

Good luck,
Peter
