Actually, gonna' drill a slightly larger hole for a bolt head, and a smaller hole for the bolt shank.
Bolt(s) will go up into truck frame.
Tube weld side is 90* from 'lateral' pin hole (manufacturer did that for me).
Should I clamp/bolt the welded longitudinal seam (because it is stronger/weaker?)?
Or bolt the unwelded side?
The other side will be left with empty bolt head access hole.
It is a front tube for trailer parking, and some winching/recovery.
I just do not know, is welded side strongest, and should I anchor/support that against the frame or free air?
THX!
