The only problem I can come up with, is that you can't fit a lock washer in between the washer and the frame, but to fix that, you could just weld a lock nut on instead.



Is there any reason the piece you made to notch the frame sticks out past the boxing plate?
I do not understand what you are trying to explain with the washers.

Notch is made out of 4" wide flat strap. I saw no need to trim it down any.

The extra width will come in handy when I mount some bump stops.
