Is it too close? Does it leave enough steel for rivet strength? https://s19.postimg.org/qq0wcsv7n/IMG_5463.jpg | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | If it were me I'd cut it an inch behind the spring hanger bracket to be safe. Does an extra inch make a problem with your project?
