Brief Description:  Made remaining parts to attach the F-632 brace

The F632 brace requires a 100 degree piece of angle plus some other attachment angles. I made those. The 100 degrees was achieved by placing the angle upside down on the floor on top of a piece wood, holding a 2x4 over the upside down V and striking it with my small sledge. Not like I was trying to hit the carnival bell to impress my wife, but lightly up and down the 2x4 four or five blows, check the angle, repeat, etc. Came out perfect. Don't know what I would have done if it had went too far. How to close up an angle back to 100 degrees? Don't have to worry about figuring that one out. The F632C and F632D special cut angles were not hard, but took a lot of time. I oversized them very slightly on the band saw for a square cut. Then drew the final plan on them, hacksawed just outside the lines and used the circular part on the workbench sander to slowly finish shaping them. Gloves and pliers held the hot angles while I shaped the final shape. I am normally against wearing gloves near powered saws and sanders for obvious safety reasons. Made an exception this time. Also, the F657 Gussets that were originally drilled and installed backwards were replaced and drilled facing forward using the same holes. Trouble is I should have recognized the future need for the two 1/4 inch bolt holes to hold the roll bar. Ended up countersinking 3 of the 4 and will set them flush under the roll bar angles. The 4th one will work for one of the bolt holes and I outlined in red where the two 1/4 inch bolt holes will go. It works. Also added two more holes behind the future roll bar.

Two of the small angles will get a 100 degree slant on the ends to match the plan slope.
