Same as before. Plate just sitting in at the moment so it’s a bit low once I lift it and weld it, it will be good

Thanks Dave I guessed they’d be 3mm. Thinking about when I do my subframe after the main shell.

I originally had them welded to another front end but cut them off and put on the new one. Much better doing it this way as I originally welded them laying under the car…….never again
