I put a heavy bevel on the bushes to make sure they press through the other side of the tube. I also countersunk the tube to make sure that the weld gets below the surface and seals things up nice.
Since my McMaster order came I could finally tap the mounting bosses. These were a real pain to tap! I also lathed the ends down a little. I want everything to fit easily so nothing is hard over waiting to not go together later. Welding will ultimately hold everything, so a little room to move now won't hurt anything. Also, losing the mill scale on the end will make a much better weld.
