    Remove any welding slag before moving on to the next step.

    Take the reinforcing gusset and test fit it in its home.

    As we mentioned in the product listing, every now and then these will need a bit of grinding to fit spot on.

    Hold it against the top edge of the subframe and tack it on the outer corners and in the middle.

    Now using a hammer, bend the gusset downwards until it meets the subframe tab.
