mikebse2a3 Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 This step is the setup I used to drill the holes of the Frame's Side Bars so that it can be attached to the Frame's Top Cross Bar. Note: I used the now squared Frame's Top Plate to precisely align and clamp the Bars for drilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: 2 holes have also been drilled and Taped in the Top Plate's back edge for a small Back Plate to hold the Frame in Place when placed on the Jubilee.
