DS subframe connection bracket

Amazon had these porter cable angle grinders for $30 so I grabbed one.  It is identical to my Craftsman one.  Which is to say it isn't very good.  Someone would make their million dollars if they made an angle grinder with a quick change arbor.


 I started the bracket that will tie the suspension subframe to the engine subframe.  Used the score and bend method from before:

 I lathed a couple rods to tap at 7/16 UNC and welded them on.  Then I shot the mating surfaces with weld through primer and tacked the bracket to the suspension subframe:
Next time I will drill out and tap the bracket, transfer the holes to the engine subframe, bolt up, weld the scored area, and make a gusset and weld it on.
