Ready Steady Eddy

Thanks, they are kind of close but the bolt holes don't line up so I was thinking they would bolt onto tapped holes in the plate with hex head screws from their own respective sides but as I've never fitted them before it's just a plan until I get the hardware in front of me. Widening the plate would be a useful option.

I missed this which is unusual for me has it happens often so I'm always watching for it but you didn't have it like that before so didn't pay any attention this time.!! . . . . . Clives correct thou you can't do it you'll need to lower/lift or widen. . . Chicken and Egg problem.???

Regards 90Deg problem then yes needs same attention but milling ends of 80mm box section will need big mill with large tooling. Having plates for gantry sides which bolt to base plate and are held 90deg with bracing brackets is much easier to do.

Welding will be good but will still possibly try to twist when released from Jig. Even then you can't be 100% sure faces of both box sections are exactly on same plane and that's why I'd use epoxy in this situation.
