Re: Tie plates

I got those exact ones! Took them forever to ship too. I used some scrap to run the u bolts through... So ignore that. What's best way to cut off the old perches.. I'm worried about that. I have a grinder with cutoff wheels.

I've got the old tie plate pieces from original axle to use as a spacing template.

Should bottom of perch be parallel with tie plate? And recommended thickness? I got some 1/2 stuff I could cut. Seems overkill...
