i guess i need to decide whether i want to buy a tubing notcher, or just spend more on parts and weld in threaded bungs and use bushings with studs on them...because that's the decision to make on where to spend the money at this point...

i did already spent $77 on the axle brackets and 4 bushings with sleeves, so getting a tubing notcher may be the direction, plus i get a new tool then!
