| − | Get a piece of 24" X 24" by 1/8" steel or 5/16" aluminum plate. Place the template you made above on the plate and using a center punch, punch each inside and outside corner and draw your connecting lines. Mark the holes for the switch, solenoid, and battery hold downs and drill those first. Those punch marks and lines will be used for you to line up the brake that will bend them. If you don't have a brake, you can always have the local sheet metal shop bend them for you. Weld in extra gusset plates for strength, then weld and grind the corners. Mount the assembly to the floor of the trunk in a level area. Install battery. | + | Get a piece of 24" X 24" by 1/8" steel or 5/16" aluminum plate.
